Minute tomato tart (traditional method & Thermomix)
Description
As soon as tomato season starts, it's impossible to resist this summer tart! A classic in France - but still too little known elsewhere - it's all about simplicity: a thin layer of mustard, melting cheese, beautiful ripe tomatoes and crispy pastry. The little secret: the quality of the tomatoes makes all the difference. Never put them in the fridge! Use only sun-drenched, fragrant tomatoes, and they'll turn this simple tart into a real speciality. Served hot with a green salad or cold at a picnic, it's perfect for any occasion.

Mix the flour, butter, water and salt in a food processor and knead quickly until you obtain a shortbread dough with visible pieces of butter.
Form into a ball, roll out into a rectangle (4-5 mm), fold into 3 or 4, then roll into a sausage and shape into a snail. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before rolling out.

Preheat the oven to 190°C (high/low heat). Unroll the pastry on baking paper, spread with the mustard, add the cheese slices and arrange the tomato slices. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil.
