Ingredients

	For the pastry:
225 g	plain flour
125 g	unsalted butter
½ tsp	salt
1 large	egg, beaten
3 tbsp	water, cold
	For the Filling:
	Dijon or whole grain mustard
3 large	tomatoes
2 tbsp	olive oil
2 tbsp	rounded, chopped fresh herbs – thyme, chives, chervil, tarragon, basil etc
250 g	goats’ cheese, fresh or slightly aged
	salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
1 ½ tbsp	honey, but goes well with many goats’ cheeses

Instructions

Preheat oven to Gas Mark 7, 425°F, 220°C. Grease an 8-9 inch, 20-23cm pie or tart tin.

Pastry:
Mix flour and salt in a bowl. Rub in butter to breadcrumb stage.

Mix the egg with 2 tbsp water. Make a well in the flour and pour the egg mixture into that. Bring the flour to the egg and mix to form a dough. Add a little more water if required. Form the dough into a ball and roll out on a lightly floured surface, sufficient to fit the dish bottom and sides.

Carefully lift on rolling pin and place into position. Carefully position the pastry to fit into corners etc. Roughly trim excess pastry.

Filling:
Spread a layer of mustard across the base of the tart and allow it to rest until the mustard dries.

Slice the tomatoes and arrange the slices in a single, even layer. Drizzle the oil over the tomatoes, season, and sprinkle with some of the herbs. Slice the cheese and arrange that on top, followed by the remainder of the herbs. If using the honey, sprinkle that too.

Bake for about 30 minutes until dough is cooked and the tomatoes are tender. The cheese should be nicely browned but, if not, place the tart until the grill for a few minutes until browned sufficiently.

Will serve 4-6. Trim excess pastry. Cut into wedges and serve immediately as a delicious starter.

Suggestion:
If you do not like goats’ cheese, use Camembert or other similar soft melting cheese, omit honey and use a little extra olive oil.
