FAQ:
Q: Can I use store-bought crust?
Yes, if you’re short on time, a quality pre-made crust works well. Just pre-bake it slightly before filling.
Q: How do I prevent a soggy tart?
Patting the tomatoes dry and pre-baking the crust are key steps. You can also brush the crust with egg white before adding the filling for extra protection.
Q: What makes heirloom tomatoes special?
Their vibrant color, unique shapes, and intense flavor. They’re more delicate but packed with sweetness and acidity that elevate this tart.
Q: Can I freeze the tart?
It’s best fresh, but you can freeze the fully baked and cooled tart. Wrap tightly and store for up to a month. Reheat from frozen at 350°F (175°C) for 15–20 minutes.
