Tomato Tart with Cheesy Breadcrumbs

By 24 Comments

This tomato tart with cheesy breadcrumbs is a simple dish that is big on fresh flavor. If you can find some of the summer’s last tomatoes, by all means, grab them up and make this tart for yourself.

Tomato Tart with Cheesy Breadcrumbs is a wonderfully simple and flavorful dish you need to make before the summer is over! This simple tart is big on flavor.

Isn’t it funny how you try to scoop up the last remnants of the season, if just to make it last a little longer? That’s what I did when I found some heirloom tomatoes at the market recently.

I didn’t want to do anything too fussy with those tomatoes, and I had prepackaged pie dough in the fridge, so I went for this lovely tomato tart with cheesy breadcrumbs.

This turned out to be nothing short of a seasonal treat. I baked my tart shell for just a bit too long, but in spite of this, you won’t need much time to make this tomato tart.

This dish is nice to serve as a starter or with a salad or soup as part of a simple meal.

Tomato Tart with Cheesy Breadcrumbs is a perfect appetizer to serve to send off summer. If you don't get a chance to make it now, save this recipe for next year.

I love tomatoes in most every format. I especially like them in my Tomato-Bacon Jam with Avocado Toast. What a surprising and scrumptious spread! 

With the cooler weather headed our way (helloooooo boots and sweaters), you’ll definitely want to whip up a batch of my Roasted Tomato Bisque with Blue Cheese Croutons. It’s comforting and delicious.

Tomato Tart with Cheesy Breadcrumbs is a bit of summer in a pan. Fresh tomatoes make this simple dish everything! You'll love this as an appetizer, or as part of a light meal.

And if you’d like to try a twist on a classic BLT, you’ll love these Fried Green Tomato BLT Sandwiches. Oh, so crispy! 

The tomatoes shine for sure in this tart! The cheesy breadcrumbs sprinkled over the top, along with a bit of fresh basil, add just the right touch. Everything about this dish comes together so nicely. 

Tomato Tart with Cheesy Breadcrumbs makes a wonderful, seasonal starter or part of a light meal. Serve this meatless dish all summer long!

While I love summer (although I’m not a fan of summer weather in Phoenix where I live), I’m eager for the fall season. But until summer is absolutely gone, I will make as many dishes possible using the season’s bounty of fruits and veggies.

I hope you can still get your hands on some juicy tomatoes to make this tomato tart with cheesy breadcrumbs. It’s a wonderful taste of the season. If not, save the recipe for next year!

Tomato Tart with Cheesy Breadcrumbs makes a wonderful and seasonal starter. The tomatoes add such fabulous flavor to this simple dish.

Ingredients

  • 1 (9-inch) prepared pie dough round
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 4 medium-sized heirloom or Beefsteak tomatoes, sliced in 1/4-inch rounds
  • 3 tablespoons grated Asiago cheese (you could also use Parmesan cheese)
  • 3 tablespoons seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2-1/2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F., or according to the package directions.
  2. Add the garlic cloves with their skin on to a sheet of aluminum foil. Drizzle with a little of the olive oil. Fold up in the foil and place in the oven.
  3. Gently lay the pie dough over a 9-inch tart pan and press down to the bottom and up the sides. Trim any excess dough. Use a fork to prick some holes in the bottom of the dough. Place in the oven with the garlic and bake for about 10 minutes until lightly golden, or according to the package directions. Turn the oven to broil.
  4. Remove the garlic from the foil. The skins should easily peel off and the garlic should be soft. Use a fork to mash up the garlic a bit.
  5. Allow the tart shell to cool slightly. Add the garlic, and spread it around the bottom of the shell.
  6. In a small bowl, combine the cheese, breadcrumbs, and black pepper. Drizzle the remaining olive oil in the mixture. Toss to combine.
  7. Arrange the tomato slices around the pan from the outside working toward the center. You can overlap the tomatoes slightly.
  8. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the tomatoes. Add the chopped basil over the top.
  9. Place the tomatoes in the oven under the broiler for just a few minutes or until lightly golden.
  10. Remove and allow the tart to cool slightly. Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy.

  2. I can't even believe next week is the LAST farmers market of the season here in northeastern Wisconsin. I have GOT to get my hands on some of the gorgeous tomatoes from the organic farmer. This tart looks and sounds incredible!

  6. As a lover of tomatoes, this beautiful tomato tart has won my heart! Right now at home I have a Costco-sized container of grape tomatoes, another of small multi-colored tomatoes, and two bags of different varieties of tomatoes from a local farmers market. I am ready to bake up your fabulous Tomato Tart with Cheesy Breadcrumbs tomorrow and serve it with a side of garden fresh salad or chicken noodle soup. Thank you so much for this delicious recipe!

  9. This tart makes me want to hang onto summer foreverrrrr (even though I'm SO tired of the heat) because I'm a sucker for tomatoes in a tart. Seriously. SO GOOD. I need to make this immediately.
