Tomato Basil Breakfast Tart with Fried Egg
Tomatoes are plentiful right now. It's the perfect time to make this Gluten Free Tomato Basil Breakfast Tart. Top it with a fried or poached egg for an extra special treat. Add some bacon, and it's truly amazing.
Gluten Free Tomato Basil Tart with a Poached Egg and BACON.
Don and I made this for breakfast over the weekend. We used some very firm, orange tomatoes, and they were perfect for the tart. It was SO stinking good.
We each had one piece of pie with a poached egg on top. And that was to be the last piece we ate!
Right after breakfast, I went off to Quaker Meeting, leaving Don to clean up the kitchen. He left the tart on the kitchen table to cool and went upstairs to do a few things. When he came back, our dog Pepper was on the kitchen table eating all the bacon off the top of the tart! (Sorry, he didn't take a picture! Don was a bit mad.)
Here's the little culprit...

I have found that using Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour, along with Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Potato Starch makes an excellent tart shell. It is flaky and delicious.
A nice pie plate is a must in our house. The one pictured is from Quail Run Pottery in Toano, VA. Go see Elizabeth Krome and get one for yourself.

This loooks delicious. I wonder f it could be done without the crust in a casserole dish. Maybe with the tomatos on the bottom?
Lois
Yes, I would think so. Maybe add more onions and cheese to hold it together? But I love the crust!
