I’m not gonna hide this from y’all: when I walked into Tigerlily that day and saw only croissants and this pretty-looking tomato tart left in their display, I was rather crestfallen. Regretful even, cause I was like no way in hell am I gonna be satisfied with just those. Where are the gorgeous sweet treats? Is that tomato tart gonna be hella acidic? Well friends, let’s just say the naysayer in me was picked up and thrown outta the door. That Heirloom Tomato Tart was worth a 20/10. If not for how delish it was, but how it completely overturned my expectations. Underneath the rainbow wedges of tomatoes was a sauce that tasted like an amazing garlicky marinara sauce. Nice mellow sort of sweetness, good kick of garlic, and a commendable umaminess. Those chonky wedges of heirloom tomatoes were also not overly acidic and had a very good meatiness and bite to them. And that pastry ooooof: super light and flaky, like a really thin puff pastry + short crust hybrid.
