Method
Crust Preparation
- 1
Make the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Add the cold, unsalted butter cut into small cubes. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Form the Dough
Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough holds together. Do not overwork the dough. Shape it into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Roll Out the Dough
On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to fit your tartlet pans. Press the dough into the pans and trim any excess. Poke the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling.
Filling Preparation

Prepare the Goat Cheese
In a small bowl, crumble the goat cheese and mix it with half of the fresh basil leaves, chopped. This will add flavor to the filling.

Assemble the Tartlets
Spread the goat cheese mixture evenly across the bottom of each crust. Arrange the thinly sliced tomatoes on top of the cheese mixture.
