HEIRLOOM TOMATO RICOTTA TART

Buttery tart crust filled with ricotta, parmesan, and cream cheese and then topped off with juicy tomatoes, fresh basil and oregano leaves, this Heirloom Tomato Ricotta Tart is not only visually appealing, but also incredibly delicious.

This post is sponsored by ABRAMS books, as a part of the ABRAMS Dinner Party, but as always all opinions are my own. The recipe for this Tomato Ricotta Tart is adapted with changes from What’s Gaby Cooking’s new cookbook Everday California. I was provided a copy of the book by Abram’s.

Ingredients
For The Tart Dough:

• 3 tablespoons almond flour/meal
• 1 ¼ cups (155 grams) all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
• Pinch of salt
• ½ cup (155 grams) unsalted butter, cold
• 2-4 tablespoons ice-cold water

For The Ricotta Filling:

• 1 cup (245 grams) fresh ricotta cheese, at room temperature
• 4 ounces (115 grams) cream cheese, at room temperature
• ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

For the topping:

• 2 cups tomatoes, I used a combination of cherry and heirloom tomatoes
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt
• ½ teaspoon black Pepper
• ¼ cup leaves of fresh basil, loosely packed
• 2 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves
• 1 tablespoons Pine nuts (optional)

Instructions

1. To make the tart dough: Combine almond flour, all-purpose flour, and salt in a large bowl. Using your hands, cut the cold butter into flour mixture. Add the cold water, starting with 2 tablespoons, stirring with a wooden spoon and gradually adding as much water as you need to make the dough moist. At this point, you want the dough to stick together easily. Turn it into a piece of plastic and shape it into 4-inch disk. Cover tightly and refrigerate for 30 minutes to an hour.
2. To make the ricotta filling: Using a rubber spatula, combine ricotta, cream cheese, and parmesan in a bowl. Fold in the lemon zest and juice. Season it with ½ teaspoon kosher salt and ¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper.
