This tomato tart made its way around the food blogging sphere not too long ago and while I did not get the chance to make it I did bookmark it. Now that the locally grown field tomatoes are looking nice and ripe it was the perfect time to make it. This tart is made with layered phyllo dough though you could easily use puff pastry dough. The tart is topped with some onions, mozzarella cheese and of course fresh tomatoes. Parmigiano reggiano is spread between the layers of phyllo dough for even more cheesy goodness. The tart is finished with a fresh herb and I went with some fresh thyme. I cut the size of the recipe down to half by folding or cutting the phyllo sheets in half. The phyllo tomato tarts were pretty easy to make. The phyllo dough came out nice and golden brown and crispy and buttery and good. The thinly sliced tomatoes on top roasted a bit concentrating their amazing flavour. The thyme added a really nice aroma to each bite of the tart.

Kevin,
That is very good looking tart! I can imagine how crunchy the phillo and at the same time you’ll feel the juice from the tomato running down your throat. DELICE!
This looks so good! I love tarts, give me some 😉
I usually see this with puff pastry but phyllo is also an excellent way to go! (Well, anything as long as the tomatoes are good!) This looks so light and delicious, Kevin!
What a gorgeous photo – I feel like I could just reach out and grab that tart (I wish LOL) sounds like a delicious combo of flavours 🙂
That last photo really did me in! I have some garden fresh tomatoes in my windowsill right now – and you just gave me the recipe to use them in! Gorgeous.

Kevin, those tomatoes look beautiful! Great tart!!
Tomato tart is so appealing and especially now when tomatoes are so good and out of the oven with the flavour more intensified – oh baby.
Yum! I love how there’s cheese added between the layers.

Looks delicious and a great idea for using up all of the tomatoes that are coming into my garden right now. Thanks for sharing!

Kevin, 1st time I see this recipe. I love playing with filo. It would make a great appetizer.
SteamyKitchen: There are just so many new things that I want to try that I do not often get the chance to make things over.
Kevin your tart looks wonderful 🙂
Beautiful! And I always have phyllo in my freezer.
What a great combination of cheeses, veggies and seasoning. Sounds and looks simply amazing.
Snap! I love tomato tarts on phyllo dough. I made one a few months ago and I’ve been tossing around how to switch it up a bit. This looks great!
A most magnificent tart Kevin!

This is SO pretty, Kevin! I just love any kind of tart, but tomato tarts are definitely one of the best. YUM.

Gorgeous Kevin 🙂
Oh wow – how have I missed this going round the blogs? Yours looks fantastic, and is it just me or is cheese between the layers of phyllo the ultimate decadence?!
i love all the different ways you are using these fresh tomatoes! this is like a greek pizza using phyllo instead of pizza dough!
delightful recipe. as i was reaching into the fridge i noticed my fresh batch of basil pesto, so i used that to baste the phllo…we gobbled it up.
Great recipe, here's a link to the photo of my version: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=2640258&l=2011724706&id=753382086
