I bought 3 different heirlooms -- a stripey one, a purple one (Brandywine?), and a green one (Green Zebra, I assume). The top of the tart was beautiful; I'll try to show you a picture. I used shallots (because I'd bought a half-pint), and I loved everything in the filling. I was a little wary of the crust, because I'm inexperienced with them; mine did turn out slightly more crumbly than might be ideal, but it was serviceable.<br/><br/>Thanks for the recipe! :) I cooked this on Sunday morning! :) There was a potluck dinner after an afternoon dance rehearsal, and this seemed the perfect seasonal and vegetable-centric item to bring!

(He had been working on a poem this morning.) Emily and I bought tomatoes, onions, fresh tarragon, and homemade Gruyere at the Hillsborough Farmer's Market, and I made the tart for lunch with Jerry and Emily and Emily's godmother. Absolutely delicious! And thank you very much for those clearly timed directions, because I was under a schedule crunch and needed to know those details.
