The Tomato and Mozzarella Savory Tart is a delicious Rustic Quiche with a stunning appearance, yet it’s incredibly easy and quick to prepare! Perfect for any season, this Caprese Savory Tart is ideal to enjoy both warm and cold!

This tart is simply made with puff pastry (or shortcrust pastry), tomato passata, mozzarella, red tomatoes, green tomatoes, and cherry tomatoes. If puff pastry is not available, you can use shortcrust pastry (“pasta brisée”), which is a buttery, neutral-flavored dough you can find in the refrigerated section of most grocery stores. Tomato passata is a smooth, uncooked tomato purée common in Italy; if you can’t find it, substitute with plain tomato sauce or blended canned tomatoes.

Serve this savory tart as a puff pastry pizza for a casual dinner with friends or as a delicious appetizer!

  1. To prepare the Savory Tart with Tomatoes and Mozzarella, start by washing, peeling, and slicing all the tomatoes. Cut the mozzarella into slices and allow it to drain so that it loses any excess liquid.
  2. Roll out the Shortcrust Pastry on your work surface and brush it with the Tomato Sauce, making sure to leave a couple of centimeters around the edge. Layer the sliced mozzarella over the sauce.
  3. Now arrange the tomato slices as you prefer, alternating them or simply forming rows based on the type of tomato. Cover with the remaining slices of mozzarella.
  4. Drizzle with a bit of extra virgin olive oil, add a pinch of salt, and sprinkle with chopped basil and oregano. Fold the free edges of the pastry inward to partially cover the filling.
  5. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for about 20 minutes, or until the shortcrust pastry is golden brown. Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, and serve the Savory Tart with Tomatoes and Mozzarella! Finally, remember to download our App with exclusive content and fewer ads!
