Tomato Cheese Tart has a buttery, flaky, and tender crust filled with creamy cheese and topped with sun-ripened tomatoes. It’s a delightful combination.
Tomato Cheese Tart Tips
This Tomato Tart is a classic summertime dish using fresh tomatoes. It’s reminiscent of Tomato Pie if you’re familiar with that Southern favorite.
The recipe is incredibly flavorful and much easier to make than it looks. Doesn’t it look impressive? That’s why I like to make a tomato cheese tart when entertaining. Easy Cherry Danish is another impressive yet simple recipe.
What is a tart?
A tart is a baked dish consisting of a filling over a pastry base with an open top not covered with pastry. In a tomato cheese tart, the filling is made with delicious layers of cheese and tomatoes.
I prefer Gouda cheese for this recipe. Gouda is a mild, yellow cheese with a caramelly, nutty and buttery flavor. It’s a good cheese for melting and pairs wonderfully with tomatoes in a tart.
Finally, I highly recommend you serve this tart with fresh basil. Fresh basil is INCREDIBLE and pairs with tomatoes!

Tomato Cheese Tart Tips
- I recommend using a plum, Roma, or heirloom tomato. As well, you don’t want to use beefsteak tomatoes for your tomato cheese tart.
- You can use either
cream cheese or ricotta cheese. Typically, I usecream cheese . - Additionally, you can make a tart crust. I have the recipe listed below. However, you can also use a purchased pie crust. If you’re making this in a tart pan, get a refrigerated roll-out pie crust.
- Also, you can use filo dough (Also known as phyllo dough) or puff pastry as the crust.

Saw this one on Amazing Recipes the other day– it’s a keeper!!! Love these pretty simple fresh summery recipes. We’ve had too much rain here and my tomatoes are DONE. Sooo sad. Guess I’ll have to make my way to the farmer’s market!
I have about 4 tomatoes left. I would have more, but my bassett hound loves green or ripe ones so she’s eaten more than I have :/
I really enjoyed your post. I just found you over at Tuesday Talent Show and would love for you to come share at my From the Farm Blog Hop! It’s a fun party that’s just getting started for this week.
