Day 2 of Tomato Week- It's been a while since I baked something so a Tomato and Cheese Tart sounded like a good idea. This tasty tomato tart is a delicious & fast summer dish that can be served for almost every meal. The stand out is this combination of Fresh Oregano, still juicy baked Tomatoes on melted Aged Cheddar, topping a crispy light dough.

Here's my recipe for Heirloom Tomato & Cheese Tart:
