Easy Homemade Tomato Tart With Feta Cheese

Like everybody in this world, I love pizza. 🍕 But sometimes, I want pizza flavors in a form that’s a little more elegant and a little less greasy. That’s when I make this exceptional tomato tart. It tastes similar to pizza, with lots of tomatoes, salty feta cheese, and tons of peppers. However, it’s a bit more refined, with tomato slices instead of tomato sauce, briny feta instead of greasy mozzarella, and a pie crust instead of pizza dough. 

The pie crust is the star of this recipe. It’s so flaky and rich and works perfectly with robust tomatoes. It elevates this tomato tart into a fancy and luxurious meal, perfect for everything from dinner with your kids to a romantic date night. And don’t worry; it’s not even difficult to make, so you’ve got to try it. You don’t even need a tart pan!

How to Make a Tomato Tart

Here’s how to make this simple, restaurant-quality savory tart.

• Mix the dry ingredients. Add the flour and salt together in a food processor. 
• Add the butter. Put the butter into the food processor, and pulse until the mixture is coarse. 

• Finish the dough. While the food processor runs, slowly add the water until the dough comes together and forms a ball. 

• Divide. Portion the dough into two equally-sized pieces. Flatten the dough into disks. 
• Chill. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it chill in the fridge for at least an hour. 
• Roll the dough. Remove one of the dough disks from the fridge, and place it on a floured surface. Roll the dough out, then drape it over a pie pan that’s been covered with parchment paper. Keep the other dough disk in the fridge or freezer. 

• Preheat. Turn your oven on to 425˚F.
• Add the veggies. Place a layer of tomatoes and peppers over the dough.
• Season. Drizzle olive oil over the veggies, then season with salt and pepper.
• Add cheese. Sprinkle feta cheese all over the veggies.
• Bake. Place the tart in the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
• Reduce the temperature. Drop the oven temperature to 375˚F and bake for 15 more minutes.

• Cool. Remove the tomato tart from the oven, and let it rest for several minutes before cutting into it. 

Tips and Tricks 

Here are a few tricks that you can use when you make this decadent tomato tart. 

• Add more ingredients. This is an excellent recipe to tinker with, depending on what’s in your fridge or garden. You can add more veggies if you have them, and you can add fresh herbs like basil and thyme. You can add more traditional pizza toppings, like olives, onions, or cured meats. I love this recipe just as it is, but feel free to adjust it based on what you have around the house.
• Don’t use overly-juicy tomatoes. If possible, avoid using tomatoes that are super juicy. If the tomatoes are too juicy, they’ll make the pie crust soggy. Avoid tomatoes that are overly ripe, and stick with varieties that are firm and not too watery. 
• Use ice water. Every pie crust recipe tells you to use cold water. The cold water helps keep the butter from melting, which makes the crust flaky instead of soggy and greasy. The colder, the better, so for best results, use ice water. 
• Adjust the water. The amount of water you’ll need for the pie crust varies based on a lot of factors, namely the climate that you live in. Adjust the water in the crust until the dough comes together smoothly.
