A one-person Tart - ahem, no, not THAT kind of tart!
Just an EDIBLE tart for one person with cherry tomatoes, buffalo milk mozarella and basil. This would fit Dreska's Italian theme so well!
The pie crust was made from a left-over piece of short crust pastry I'd stuck in the freezer some time ago, thawed, rolled and baked blind.
Then all there was to it was a bunch of tomatoes at the market, the basil that would wilt within the next couple of days anyways - and hey, didn't I buy some mozarella di buffalo a couple of days ago? An egg yolk, a little cream, salt and pepper whisked together, and poured on top. Another stop by the oven, a green salad on the side - ah yes, a perfect dinner for when summer truly has arrived!

For me those are the moments I feel more accomplished as a cook.
Simple and satisfying. This is also my idea of good food. Glad to see summer's coming to your part of the world!
Your tart looks fantastic!

This looks absolutely summery sumptuous. I have neglected the realm of tart-baking lately, whether savory or sweet. Now I have new inspiration!
Chronicler - thank you!
Cathy - I'm trying my best!
Hi Karen! I'm trying to be! Or rather, I'm not trying to be funny, 'cause then it's just not that - fun, you know?!;-) And I'm glad summer's coming around too, I've missed it so much!
Hi Melissa! Your tart looks good and what a nice blog you keep!
Hi Julie - I've been neglecting tarts for the most part of my life (both kinds, hehe!), but now that I've gotten the hang of it, and a gorgeous pastry recipe, I can't understand why I never liked making them before! They're so versatile, so.. the little black dress of the kitchen, right?
Linda - you're welcome! I'm glad I could inspire you, I'm always so happy when that happens to me when I blog-hop!
