What I love about this rustic tart is that it’s beautiful in its simplicity. You’ll be surprised how easy this recipe is to make. The combination of juicy, sweet cherry tomatoes, the soft but flaky crust paired with a flavorful pesto filling gives a delicious, creamy end result, packed with flavour.
This rustic tart is just perfect for lunch or a light dinner. You can serve it with a salad and it keeps really well in the fridge for 2-3 days. Just re-heat in the oven for 10 minutes before serving.
Try this flavor combo: the result will not be only beautiful, but it will also taste absolutely delicious.
