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!

I like this idea of a tart. Don't you just love it when we decide to make something with what's on the fridge, a bit of this, a bit of that, and come up with something trully delicious?
For me those are the moments I feel more accomplished as a cook.
Oh Zarah this is perfect! Exactly the type of summer faire that is easily prepared and enjoyed.
Yum Zarah - this sounds great! You make it sound so easy to come up with such inspired ideas!
Hehehe, you're always a funny girl.
Simple and satisfying. This is also my idea of good food. Glad to see summer's coming to your part of the world!
Hi Zarah Maria! I was in a tart mood myself today. I prepared a tapenade tart dough today, for a tart I'm making tomorrow!
Your tart looks fantastic!

Oh Zarah,
This looks absolutely summery sumptuous. I have neglected the realm of tart-baking lately, whether savory or sweet. Now I have new inspiration!
You just gave me the perfect idea for what to pack on an upcoming picnic. Thanks!
Hi Ana - I know just what you're saying! I'm actually really bad at working with what's in the fridge - I always seem to be missing just one thing - or two... or everything! So when everything sums up, I do love it!
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!
