Tomato Filling

Mozzarella Foam

Method

Prepare the Pastry

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add cold water, mixing until the dough forms. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Roll Out the Dough

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). On a floured surface, roll out the dough to fit a tart pan. Place the rolled dough into the pan and prick the bottom with a fork. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden. Let cool.

Prepare the Tomato Filling

  1. 3

    Caramelize the Tomatoes

    Slice the tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat, add the anchovy fillets and cook until they dissolve. Add the tomato slices and cook until they caramelize, about 10-15 minutes. Stir in fresh basil before removing from heat.

  2. 4

    Assemble the Tart

    Spread the caramelized tomato mixture over the baked pastry base evenly.

Make the Mozzarella Foam

  1. 5

    Blend the Ingredients

    In a blender, combine fresh mozzarella, heavy cream, and salt. Blend until smooth and frothy. If needed, strain the mixture for a finer texture.

Final Assembly

  1. 6

    Top and Serve

    Spoon the mozzarella foam over the tomato tart. Serve immediately while warm.
