This Jammy Tomato Ricotta Tart recipe is a great way to use up summer garden tomatoes. A rich ricotta filling is baked in a flakey puff pastry crust, then topped with jammy cherry tomatoes simmered in a balsamic honey glaze. It's a savory, sweet, and delicious dish that's perfect for brunch or dinner!
Preheat oven to 425℉. Oil or use a non-stick spray an 8 or 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom. Carefully unfold thawed puff pastry. Roll out to fit a 10-12 inch circle. Lightly press into the prepared tart pan. Trim off excess puff pastry. Cover and place in refrigerator until ready to use.
In a mixing bowl combine ricotta, Parmesan, garlic, egg, cream, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth.
Gently pour in the ricotta filling. Spread evenly. Place in preheated oven and bake until golden brown. Approximately 30-35 minutes or until the filling has puffed up and is a light golden color. Remove from the oven. Cool 5 minutes. Remove from tart pan.
Add olive oil to a 10-inch skillet. Heat until the oil begins to shimmer slightly. Add cherry tomatoes. Gently lift and swirl the skillet so the tomatoes roll around a bit in the oil. Add the minced garlic and continue to swirl occasionally so the garlic doesn't burn. Once the tomato skin starts to split add the honey and balsamic vinegar and continue to swirl. When the garlic mixture begins to thicken, remove from the heat and add the softened butter. Gently stir in the butter being careful not to smash or break the tomatoes.
Gently spoon the tomato mixture over the top of the baked tart. Serve warm. This tart will serve 4 generous servings or 6 small appetizer servings.
