Method

  1. Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Season the tomatoes, drizzle with oil then put cut-side down on a non-stick baking tray. Roast for 10 minutes. Cool and slip off the skins.
  2. Roll out the pastry to the thickness of a £1 coin. Sprinkle with half the cheese, fold in half, then roll out to the same thickness. Sprinkle over the rest of the cheese and roll out again. Using a dinner plate as a guide, cut out a large circle (about 28cm). Score a border about 1 1/2 cm in from the edge.
  3. Mix together the mustard and mascarpone and spread inside the border. Arrange the tomato halves cut-side up inside the border. Season and sprinkle with garlic, thyme and olive oil. Glaze the edges then bake for 30-40 minutes until the pastry is crisp and golden.

    This went down great with my vegetarian and meat eating guests! It's really tasty and very easy to make. I did add some goats cheese to the top of the tart though as it looked a bit sparse. Will certainly be making it again.

    It didn't say whether to cook the pastry first - neither did it state whether to use a flan dish or just a baking tray. We didn't cook the pastry and used a baking tray - and it came out perfectly!

    This was easy to make and tasted lovely. There was quite a lt of pastry left over so I added a little extra parmesan and made some cheese straws too which were very tasty.

    Hm, I don't know if my oven is partly to blame, but this didn't work for me at all. I had to remove it from the oven after 30 minutes because the edges - which puffed up very nicely - were beginning to char. The centre however was a sodden mess, and the pastry underneath tasted raw. Texture aside, the combination of flavours didn't do it for me either... I don't think I'll be giving this another shot.

    to Basil Wills - try pecorino, which is vegetarian and almost the same as parmesan

    My husband loves this! I make it with a little less mustard as he isn't keen on the taste, but still delicious. I accompany it with a chicken ceaser salad.

    Very nice - the roasted tomatoes had a wonderful flavour. I used about half the amount of mustard as I agree with previous posters that using a tbsp would be overpowering and I also used basil instead of thyme (just a personal flavour preference).

    Husband and I both really enjoyed this. I used basil rather than thyme as previosly suggested. Served with green beans and new potatoes with a lemon/ hearb dressing. This will become a regular summer evening meal.
