French Tomato Tart (Easy Vegan Tarte à la Tomate)
This easy vegan tomato tart with puff pastry is a French-inspired recipe perfect for summer. Made with heirloom tomatoes, Dijon mustard, and fresh herbs, it’s plant-based, dairy-free, and ready in under 45 minutes!
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt & black pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 sheet vegan puff pastry
- 2 –3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 6 –8 heirloom tomatoes thinly sliced (use a mix of colors for wow factor)
- 1 small zucchini thinly sliced
- Fresh basil for serving
Optional: caramelized onions or vegan cheese for extra flavor
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Roll out the vegan puff pastry onto a pie mold or flat on a baking sheet, lined with parchment paper. Use a fork to poke small holes all over the base to prevent the crust from expanding. Bake it for 5 minutes, just enough to lightly set it (this helps avoid a soggy bottom).
- Spread a layer of Dijon mustard over the partially baked crust using the back of a spoon.
- Arrange tomato and zucchini slices on top, slightly overlapping them in a spiral or layered pattern. Gently press them down with your fingers to help them settle.
- Drizzle olive oil over the top, then sprinkle with oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Bake uncovered for 15 minutes. Then cover the tart loosely with foil and bake for another 10–15 minutes (total 25–30 minutes) until the edges are golden and the veggies are soft and juicy.
- Let cool for a few minutes. Top with fresh basil and optional extras like caramelized onions or vegan cheese if desired. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature with a side salad.
