Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Sugar
  • 6 tablespoons Unsalted Butter Cut in 1-inch cubes, chilled
  • 4-6 tablespoons Ice Water
  • 1/2 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1/2 Fennel Bulb Thinly sliced
  • 1 Shallot Thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Chopped Basil
  • 12-18 Cherry Tomatoes Halved
  • 1/4 cup Pecorino Romano Cheese Shredded
  • 1/4 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, stir the flour, salt, and sugar together.
  • Add the butter cubes and toss to cover with flour.
  • Cut in the butter with either a pastry blender or two knives until the butter is the size of peas, forming a coarse crumbly mixture.
  • Slowly add enough ice water, while mixing by hand.
  • Add water until the dough just starts to come together.
  • Bring it together into a ball, wrap in plastic and chill for at least one hour or even a day ahead.
  • In a medium-size pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the fennel and shallot slices. Lower the heat and cook until soften.
  • Remove from the pan and let them cool.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • While the fennel is cooling, roll out the dough to 1/8-inch thickness on a large piece of parchment paper.
  • Spread the cooled fennel mixture and basil over the dough.
  • Fold the edges over to create a border.
  • Sprinkle with the cheeses and cherry tomatoes. Add salt and pepper to taste over the tart.
  • Transfer the tart, with the parchment paper to a baking sheet.
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until the tart has browned. Serve warm.
