Instructions
1
To prepare the tart dough, combine flour, salt, black pepper, and cold butter in a mixing bowl or food processor. Using a pastry blender or two knives, mix until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
2
Gradually add 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil and water, mixing with a fork until the dough begins to come together. If the mixture is too dry, add up to one additional tablespoon of oil as needed.
3
Form the dough into a ball, then flatten it into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
4
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). After the dough has chilled, roll it out on a floured surface into a 14-inch circle. Carefully transfer it to a tart pan, pressing it into the edges. Trim any excess dough.
5
Spread Dijon mustard evenly across the bottom of the tart shell. Sprinkle grated Gruyère cheese over the mustard, and then layer sliced tomatoes and Camembert cheese alternately on top.
6
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/2 cup of extra-virgin olive oil, chopped parsley, basil, rosemary, thyme leaves, crumbled bay leaf, and minced garlic.
7
Brush two-thirds of the herb-infused oil over the assembled tart.
8
Bake on the middle oven rack for 35 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
9
Remove the tart from the oven and brush with the remaining herb oil. Serve warm and enjoy the delicious combination of flavors!
