Easy recipe: tomato and old-fashioned mustard pie

45

• Herbes de Provence or fresh thyme

• Olive oil

• Salt and pepper

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (about 400°F or gas mark 6-7).

2. Roll out the pastry into a tart pan and prick the bottom with a fork.

3. Spread the whole grain mustard over the base. Don’t use too much to avoid bitterness, but enough to give the tart a nice kick.

4. Slice the tomatoes thinly and arrange them over the mustard. It’s a good idea to let them drain slightly with a sprinkle of salt for 15 minutes beforehand to prevent the tart from becoming too watery.

5. Add the grated cheese, herbs, a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper.

6. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the crust is golden and the top lightly gratinéed.
