A French-inspired fresh cherry tomato tartlet recipe, baked in a buttery spelt-cornmeal crust with fresh goat cheese, thyme and served with balsamic syrup. An excellent way of using up an excess of home grown tomatoes.

Pâte BriséeFilling
  • 200 g Whole grain spelt, ground
  • 50 g Cornmeal
  • 125 g Butter, cut into small pieces
  • 5 g Salt
  • 10 g Sugar
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 tbsp Cold milk
  • 150 g Fresh goat cheese
  • 500 g Cherry tomatoes
  • 4 tsp Breadcrumb
  • Black pepper
  • Fresh thyme
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  1. Heap the flour and cornmeal on a counter and make a well. Put in the butter, salt, sugar and egg. Using your fingertips, mix until it has a grainy texture. Add in milk and incorporate gently with your fingertips until the dough begins to hold together. Gently knead 4 or 5 times until smooth. Roll it into a ball and flatten slightly into a thick disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least an hour before working with it.
  2. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough to a 2-mm thickness. Using a 18-cm cutter or plate as a guide, cut out 4 circles. Use them to line 4 individual loose-bottom tart pans, 12-cm in diameter and 3-cm deep. Chill for 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat the oven to 190C/375F. Prick the tart shell bases. Line the tart shells with baking parchment and fill with a layer with dried beans to weigh the dough down and prevent it from rising unevenly. Bake for 15 minutes. Lower the oven setting to 170C/340F. Remove the beans and paper and return the pastry shells to the oven for 5 minutes. Remove and leave them on a wire rack and let cool.
  4. Sprinkle each tart shell with one teaspoon of breadcrumb, then divide the fresh goat cheese onto the tart shells, and season with freshly ground black pepper and fresh thyme leaves. Fill in the tomatoes and drizzle the olive oil over. Bake in the center of the hot oven for 20-25 minutes.

'using up an excess of home grown tomatoes'??? I harvested 4 cherry tomatoes (I'm not joking) this year...so sad. Your brisee is an interesting alternative to the usual shortcrust.

Im hoping my tomatoes will ripen before our holidays in Europe which ate fast approaching; this recipe would make the perfect dish for them. Goats cheese and tomatoes are the perfect pairing of the tomatoes acidity and the creamy slightly tarty goats cheese. What a perfect fall lunch.

Susan 5/9/12 16:48

We can grow lots of yummy things here in the Pacific Northwest, but tomatoes are not at the top of the list. I think because our soil is too acidic from all the evergreens. However, your tomatoes and especially this tart look absolutely gorgeous and my mouth is watering. I just love goat cheese paired with tomato:-D

glutwin 28/9/12 03:21

Exquisite offering! ...Question..Is "farine d'épeutre complet" here in France the same ingredient as the "whole grain spelt...ground" you mention in the recipe for the pâte brisée?...I want to do your creation justice!..Thank you for any clarification!

[Reply]
Angie's Recipes 28/9/12 06:32

@glutwinI assume that "Farine complete d'epeutre" is wholewheat flour? Spelt (it's also called Dinkel here in Germany) is different from wheat. But if you don't spelt in your pantry, wholewheat flour will work just great. You might need to add one or two more spoons of milk as wheat flour absorb more water than spelt. You can either grind the grain yourself or just get some wholewheat flour from the store.

Tomato tart is my favorite, yours looks very nice; but still I have problems with whole flour (I do not like it too much - the taste of the dough is different). Kind regards !
