Ingredients
- Prepared unsweetened pie dough for an 8-inch tart pan or 4-by-13-inch rectangular tart pan
- 2½tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
- 2onions, thinly sliced
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1cup goat cheese
- 1pound tomatoes (any combination of red, yellow, heirloom, cherry), sliced if large or halved if small
- ½cup crumbled feta or Stilton cheese
- ¼cup pitted calamata olives (optional)
- 8sliced basil leaves
Preparation
- Step 1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Roll out the dough to about ¼ inch thick and line the tart pan with it, pressing excess dough against the sides to make a thicker edge. Prick bottom and sides with a fork. Line with parchment paper, fill with pie weights or dried beans and bake for 20 minutes. Remove weights and parchment and bake another 7 or 8 minutes, until crust is golden brown. Let cool.
- Step 2
Heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the onions. Season with salt and pepper and cook until the onions are lightly browned.
- Step 3
Spread the onions over bottom of the crust and dot with goat cheese. Arrange tomatoes on top in a mosaic pattern. Dot with the feta or Stilton and push olives into the top. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil.
- Step 4
Preheat broiler. Cover the edge of the crust with foil to protect it from burning and broil until tart is lightly browned and bubbly, 4 to 5 minutes. Let cool to room temperature and garnish with basil.

Loved it! Used Stilton, kalamatas, and crazy fresh tomatoes — the latter so sweet and ripe that I hesitated, wondering if I was gilding the lily. But I guess I like my lilies gilded. Only thing I’ll try changing next time is swapping out the pie dough for puff pastry instead...
This recipe is fabulous. My family has been making it every summer since it first appeared in the paper in 2003. Just went to NYC's GreenMarket now and loaded up with the glorious local summer tomatoes, onions and cheeses and made it again. This recipe really needs a photo! Happy to oblige if you would only let me lol.....
Well, this just didn’t work well for me. I was hopeful, as I have made various tomato tarts over the years. The flavors just didn’t come together, especially the goat cheese. For the work, it wasn’t worth another try.
Not bad, but a little watery from tomatoes.
