Crust

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Crust

    In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add cold water, mixing until the dough comes together. Shape into a disc, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Filling

    While the crust is chilling, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the tomatoes and sprinkle with salt. Let them sit for about 15 minutes to draw out moisture, then pat dry with a paper towel.

Assembly and Baking

  1. 3

    Assemble the Tart

    Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a tart pan. Press the dough into the pan and trim the excess. In a bowl, mix ricotta, eggs, black pepper, and olive oil. Spread the ricotta mixture over the crust, layer with sliced tomatoes, and sprinkle with fresh basil and Parmesan cheese.

  2. 4

    Bake

    Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. Let it cool slightly before slicing.
