Potato-Parm Tart

I love a good tart, sweet or savory, and this was a great tart. Everyone loved this side dish including my son. Anything with a crust, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese and potatoes is a winner in my book. My comments were great, make again and that is just what we are going to do. To…

Pear-Comté Tart

This week on Tuesdays with Dorie we are baking from the Salty Side Up section of Baking with Dorie. The base is an all-purpose tart dough which is partially baked then brushed with Dijon mustard. The filling is quiche-like with eggs, milk, heavy cream and cheese, lots and lots of cheese. I picked Gruyère cheese…

Tomato Tart

Summer is in full swing so tomatoes are plentiful. My husband found these beautiful heirloom tomatoes. I followed the directions for one 9 inch tart. My tomatoes were so big that I only needed 2. This tart was delicious. Definitely a make again recipe. To see what others thought head over to Tuesdays with Dorie.

Mostly Rhubarb Tart

I knocked this out for our Sunday dinner. I was lucky and found rhubarb at Smart and Final but like Kim it was not in the greatest condition no matter it was being cooked anyway. We have made several rhubarb desserts over the years but so far our favorite remains Rhubarb Upside Down Brown Sugar…

French Riviera Lemon Tart

It is good to be in the Riviera! I have been baking tarts  à la Dorie for decades now and I thought I had made them all but this lemon tart is very different from all the rest. Starting with the crust I have not made one with olive oil before. Dorie’s sweet tart dough…

Steph’s Bakewell Tart

Wow was this good. I have never had a Bakewell Tart before and I am so happy that Steph shared her recipe with Dorie. I think this is a mash-up of a dessert; tart shell, jam and cake on top. A bonus of this dessert is that it is made with almond flour which I…

Tomato Tart with Mustard and Ricotta

I went rouge this week. I wanted to serve this dish for Mother’s Day so I swapped out the two recipes. This dish did not come out at all like the picture. I think the photo is before the eggs go in. Any who, we really loved this one. The crust is fantastic, like all…

Caramelized Cinnamon-Milk Chocolate Tart

I have been looking forward to this tart for a very long time and I was not disappointed and neither was my family. Armed with my cinnamon from Costa Rica, one of my friends bought for me, I delved into this recipe. A quarter of a cup of sugar is caramelized with two cinnamon sticks….

Tropical Tartlets

This month on Tuesdays with Dorie we have had a tropical theme; mango, lime and coconut. Given that none of us can travel beyond our own backyards we are traveling with our food adventures. These tropical tartlets from Baking Chez Moi live up to their name. The filling is comprised of mango, eggs, sugar, coconut,…

Lower East Side Brunch Tart

This week on Cook the Book Fridays we are celebrating one of our own with a dish she wanted to make, Lower East Side Brunch Tart. Chez Nana, aka Rosemarie DiDomenico, I ‘met’ in the group French Fridays with Dorie in which we were cooking from Around My French Table by Dorie Greenspan. She and…
