Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a tart pan.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour and a pinch of salt (optional).
- Cut the butter into small pieces and add it to the flour. Using your fingertips or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add the water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. You may not need the entire amount of water.
- Gather the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to chill.
- While the dough is chilling, wash and chop the tomatoes. Place them in a bowl and set aside.
- Pit and slice the olives. Crumble the feta cheese and set both aside.
- In a small bowl, mix the olive oil with the chopped fresh thyme.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to fit your tart pan, or roll it into a rough circle if using a baking sheet. Aim for about 1/4-inch thickness.
- Transfer the dough to the prepared tart pan or baking sheet, pressing it gently into the pan if using one. Trim any excess dough edges if necessary.
- Evenly spread the chopped tomatoes over the bottom of the crust, followed by the sliced olives.
- Drizzle the olive oil and thyme mixture over the tomatoes and olives.
- Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly on top.
- Place the tart in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the tomatoes are tender.
- Once baked, remove the tart from the oven and let it cool slightly.
- Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- Use ripe tomatoes to ensure a rich and flavorful tart.
- Chill the butter before incorporating it into the flour to achieve a flaky crust.
- If possible, use pitted olives to save time during preparation.
- Pre-bake the crust for 10 minutes before adding the filling to prevent a soggy bottom.
- Sprinkle some additional fresh thyme on top just before serving for an extra burst of flavor.
This Olive, Tomato & Feta Tart is not only delicious but also relatively simple to make. The combination of fresh ingredients and flaky crust makes it a winner for any occasion. Enjoy this tart warm or at room temperature, and pair it with a crisp green salad for a complete meal. Happy cooking!
