In France, patisseries display mouth-watering savory tarts in their windows. This is a very simple yet extremely tasty tart made with rich shortcrust pastry, topped with slices of mozzarella cheese and tomatoes and enriched with olive oil and basil leaves.
1. To prepare the pastry, mix together the flour and salt, then rub in the butter and egg yolk. Add enough cold water to make a smooth dough and knead lightly on a floured surface. Place in a plastic bag and chill for about 1 hour.
2. Preheat the oven to 190 degrees celsius. Remove the pastry form the fridge and allow about 10 minutes for it to return to room temperature and then roll out into a 20cm round. Press in tot he base of a 20cm flan dish or tin. Prick all over with a fork and then bake in the oven for about 10 minutes until firm but not brown. Allow to cool slightly. Reduce the oven temperature to 180 degrees celcius.
3. Arrange the mozzarella slices over the pastry base. On top, arrange a single layer of the sliced tomatoes, overlapping them slightly. Dip the basil leaves in olive oil and arrange them on the tomatoes.
4. Scatter the garlic on top, drizzle with the remaining olive oil and season with a little salt and a good sprinkling of black pepper. Bake for 40-45 minutes, until the tomatoes are well cooked. Serve hot.
