Comments on: Heirloom Tomato Tart http://www.alexandracooks.com/2007/08/30/heirloom-tomato-tart/ Where buttermilk and sherry vinegar are revered, fussing is sometimes allowed, and everything tastes better with an egg on top.

Stupendous! (which has become my new favorite adjective since reading in her obit that Joan Sutherland was nicknamed "La Stupenda") Seems I can't get it together to make this at the height of summer, but with that crust, I'm almost tempted to try it in the dead of winter using frozen corn and plum tomatoes!

Crust was not quite perfect but not bad for the first time through. I haven’t even tasted the finished product yet and am already planning at making it again.

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.
