Ingredients

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. 2 In a large bowl, combine sifted flour and salt. Add chilled butter and mix using a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. 3 Gradually add ice water to the flour mixture, stirring gently until the dough begins to hold together.
4. 4 Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
5. 5 On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Press the dough into the pan and trim the excess.
6. 6 Blind bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove and set aside to cool slightly.
7. 7 Spread softened goat cheese evenly over the cooled tart crust.
8. 8 Arrange the sliced heirloom tomatoes over the goat cheese in a single layer.
9. 9 Drizzle olive oil over the tomatoes, and sprinkle with chopped basil, black pepper, and sea salt.
10. 10 Bake the tart in the oven for 20-25 minutes until the tomatoes are tender and the crust is golden.
11. 11 Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
