Method

  1. To make the pastry, whizz the flour and butter in a food processor until it resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the Grana Padano, then the egg, and bring together to make a dough. Wrap in clingfilm and chill for 20 minutes.
  2. To make the filling, cook the peppers and onion in 1 tbsp olive oil until very soft, about 15 minutes, then season.
  3. Heat the oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Roll out the pastry to 20p thickness. Line a shallow tart tin (about 23cm) with the pastry, fill with baking parchment and beans, and blind bake for 10 minutes. Take out the paper and beans and bake for another 5 minutes.
  4. Allow to cool a little, then spread base with the Dijon and sprinkle over the gruyère. Top with the pepper/onion mix, then a layer of tomato slices and the olives. Season really well and put back in the oven for another 15-20 minutes until the tomatoes are tender and pastry is cooked through and crisp. Scatter over basil before serving.

    Served this as a starter with a rocket salad and garlic, balsamic and mustard dressing. Used strong cheddar in the pastry as I did not have the Grana Padana. Very tasty and guests very appreciative. None left!!

    Lovely! I went out of my way, this time, to use all the ingredients listed. Even the pastry was successful - hoorah! Normally, I have won accolades as "The World's Worst Pastry Cook". The tart is super-tasty and it is easy to make although quite time consuming.

    I used ready made short crust pastry, and cheddar cheese instead of the gruyere and it was still yummy. Will definitely try the recipe again.

    Really tasty, used emmental instead of gruyere, next time may increase the emmental amount slightly to 'set' the tart more firmly.

    Wow! What a delicious dish. Will be making this again. We had half of it for supper tonight - strongly tempted to eat the other half now.

    It looks more interesting than it tastes. It somehow did not come together, filling was a strange combination of flavours, too dry, with little to bind the ingredients. Maybe I am not a savoury tart person, but if I make something similar for my vegetarian friend I will go for a goat's cheese and roast veg combo, basil, olives, sun dried toms, etc
