Corn And Tomatoes Tart Recipes

Steps:

• Position racks in the middle and upper third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-inch pie plate with the dough, crimping the edge with your fingers. Poke the bottom of the crust all over with a fork. Line with foil and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake on the middle rack until golden around the edge, about 20 minutes. Remove the foil and weights; continue baking until golden all over, about 10 more minutes.
• Meanwhile, core the tomatoes and cut into 1/2-inch wedges; toss with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Spread the tomatoes in a single layer on paper towels to drain until ready to use.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the corn and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer 1/2 cup of the corn to a large bowl.
• Add the heavy cream to the saucepan with the remaining corn and bring to a simmer. Carefully transfer the mixture to a blender and puree until smooth; transfer to the bowl with the corn. Whisk in the eggs, half each of the scallions and cheese, and a few grinds of black pepper; pour into the crust. Bake on the middle rack until the custard is just set, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and increase the temperature to 400 degrees F.
• Mix the remaining scallions and cheese, the panko, thyme, paprika, cayenne and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and black pepper in a bowl. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the mixture on top of the pie. Pat the tomato wedges with paper towels to absorb the excess moisture, then coat with the remaining panko mixture and arrange on top of the tart. Sprinkle any remaining panko on top; dot with the remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Return to the oven on the upper rack and bake until the top is golden, about 15 minutes. Let cool 30 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• Cut the corn kernels off the cobs and transfer to a medium bowl. Using the back of the knife, scrape the cobs to release the corn milk into the bowl.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tomatoes and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the corn and corn milk, 1 tablespoon water, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook until the kernels are tender,3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the chives, basil and the remaining 1 tablespoon butter; toss to combine.

Steps:

• The Tart Shell Combine flour, butter and salt in a food processor and pulse until crumbs form. Add egg and pulse until mixture resembles moist curds. Turn the dough out onto a work surface and knead once or twice to pull dough together. Flatten into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. (At this point, the dough can be kept refrigerated for up to 2 days or frozen for up to a month.) Center a rack in the oven and preheat to 350°F. Cut a 10-in.-dia. round of wax or parchment paper. Place a fluted 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom on a baking sheet. Lightly dust a work surface and the top of the dough with flour. Roll the dough out to approximately 10-in. diameter and 1/8-in. thick. Fit the dough into the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Trim excess dough even with the pan's rim and with the tines of a fork, poke a few holes on the bottom. Line the crust with the wax-paper round and fill with dried beans or rice. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes. Take pan out of oven and carefully remove the paper and beans, then bake crust for 3 to 5 minutes more, or until lightly browned. Transfer to a rack to cool. For the Filling Preheat oven to 300°F. Melt 1 T of the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and cook, stirring for 4 minutes, or until the onions are translucent. Add the corn with a sprinkle of salt and pepper and cook, stirring for 5 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup of the corn mixture into a medium bowl. Add the cream to the saucepan, bring to a simmer and then transfer to a blender. Puree until smooth and transfer to the bowl with the reserved corn. Whisk in whole eggs, yolks, 1/2 cup scallion, Tabasco, and another sprinkle of salt and pepper until well combined. Pour the mixture into the prepared tart shell and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the custard is set. Meanwhile, melt remaining butter, transfer to a medium bowl and toss with the remaining scallion, tomatoes, parmesan cheese, smoked paprika, breadcrumbs, and salt and pepper to taste. Once custard is set, arrange tomato mixture on top and return to the oven for 15 minutes, or until tomatoes are soft and crumbs are golden. Let tart rest for 20 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place 2 pieces of puff pastry onto a silicone-lined baking sheet. Press the short seam of 1 piece onto the other to form the rectangular base of the tart. Cut seams off the other 2 pieces of puff pastry and press them into the edges of the base to act as the border.
• Freeze dough until firm, about 10 minutes.
• Score border with a knife, making shallow cuts 1/4-inch apart. Press the bottom of a fork onto the seam in the middle and poke holes all over the base.
• Bake tart shell until lightly golden and partially puffed, about 10 minutes. Press down on the base using the bottom of a fork. Avoid pressing border. Let cool for 10 minutes.
• Spread mustard over the inside of the tart. Arrange tomato slices into a single layer on top and cut a few slices in half to fill in the gaps. Season with salt and pepper. Generously sprinkle herbes de Provence on top. Add Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and drizzle most of the olive oil on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until pastry is well browned and crispy, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool to room temperature on the baking sheet or transfer to a wire rack using 2 spatulas. Drizzle remaining olive oil over the tart and sprinkle fresh oregano, parsley, and thyme on top.

Steps:

• Make crust:
• Cut butter into pieces.
• In a food processor pulse together flour, cornmeal, and salt. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add ice water and pulse until incorporated and mixture just forms a dough. Press dough evenly into bottom and up sides of a 10 1/2- by 7- by 1-inch rectangular tart pan with a removable fluted rim (see note, above) and roll a rolling pin over rim of pan to trim dough flush with rim. Chill crust about 20 minutes, or until firm.
• While crust is chilling, preheat oven to 375°F.
• Line crust with foil and fill with pie weights or raw rice. Bake crust in lower third of oven until edge is set, 10 minutes. Carefully remove foil and weights or rice and bake crust 5 minutes more, or until just dry. Leave oven on and cool crust in pan on a rack (crust may crack slightly). Crust may be made 1 day ahead and kept, loosely covered with plastic wrap, at room temperature.
• Make custard:
• Chop basil. In a bowl whisk together basil and remaining custard ingredients and season with salt and pepper.
• Pour custard into crust, spreading evenly. Halve tomatoes and arrange, cut sides up, in one layer on custard, pressing lightly into custard. Season tomatoes with salt and pepper and bake tart in lower third of oven until custard is just set, about 25 minutes. Cool tart to warm in pan on rack. Tart may be made 1 day ahead and cooled completely before being chilled, covered, in pan. Reheat tart, uncovered, in a 350°F. oven or bring to room temperature before serving.
• Carefully remove rim from pan. Cut tart into roughly 2-inch pieces and serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F.
• Combine eggs, cheese, corn kernels, chiles, chili powder and cumin in mixing bowl, and beat to mix well. Pour into pie shell, smoothing top of filling.
• Bake for 25 minutes, or until center is firm. Remove from oven, place sliced tomatoes on top, sprinkle with cilantro and serve. Pass portions with salsa of your preference, if desired.

Steps:

• Mix corn, tomatoes, sugar, salt and pepper in an 8" square greased dish.
• Toss bread crumbs with melted butter.
• Spread over veggies.
• Bake@ 350 degrees F.
• for 35 to 40 minutes or until topping is browned and veggies heated through.

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven, cook fettuccine according to package directions, adding corn during the last 8 minutes of cooking., Meanwhile, in a small skillet, heat 2 teaspoons oil over medium-high heat. Add red pepper and green onions; cook and stir until tender., Drain pasta and corn; transfer pasta to a large bowl. Cool corn slightly; cut corn from cob and add to pasta. Add tomatoes, salt, pepper, remaining oil and the pepper mixture; toss to combine. Sprinkle with cheese and parsley.

Steps:

• Make the Cheddar crust: In the bowl of a food processor, pulse the flour and salt until well combined. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. There will be visible pieces of butter, but they should be quite small. (You can also do this in a medium bowl with your fingers or a pastry cutter.) Add the shredded cheese and pulse to combine.
• Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl, make a well in the center of the bowl and pour in the ice water. Toss the mixture with your hands to distribute the water throughout the flour. Once the mixture becomes very fine crumbs, knead it a few times until it comes together. If there are portions of the dough that are more hydrated, use your hands to break them up, then incorporate the drier portions of the dough. The dough should not be totally smooth, or overly wet. If needed, add more ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the mixture holds together easily in a ball.
• Form the dough into a 1-inch-thick disk, and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 2 days.
• Make the filling: Heat the oven to 400 degrees with racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven. On a baking sheet, combine the tomatoes, melted butter and olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Transfer to the top rack of the oven and roast until the tomatoes have become wrinkly, the skins have browned slightly and they've collapsed, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool completely. (You can complete this step in advance and refrigerate for up to 5 days.)
• When the tomatoes have cooled completely, gently transfer them to a medium bowl. If they've released a lot of liquid, drain the tomatoes in a colander before placing in the bowl. Stir the corn kernels and scallions into the tomatoes; season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. On a lightly floured surface and using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll out the dough into a round about 1/4-inch thick and about 17 inches wide. Roll up the dough onto the rolling pin, wrapping it around the pin, and gently transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet; unroll. (It will be larger than the baking sheet in the some places; just allow the excess to drape over the edge of the pan.)
• Gently transfer the cooled tomato and corn mixture to the center of the dough and spread into an even layer, leaving the outside 2 inches uncovered. Working a little bit at a time, fold the outside edges over the filling, pleating the edges as you work.
• In a small bowl, whisk the egg and 1 tablespoon water together to combine. Brush the egg wash around the outside edge of the crust.
• Transfer the pie to the lower rack of the oven and bake until the crust is deeply golden brown, 50 minutes to 1 hour.
• Let cool at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve directly on the baking sheet, or use the parchment paper to slide it onto a cutting board, then slide the parchment away to slice and serve. Serve warm or at room temperature, and garnish with basil just before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F.
• Combine the eggs, cheese, corn, chilies, spices, and scallions (if using) into a bowl and mix well.
• Pour mixture into the pie shell, and smooth over the top.
• Bake for 25 minutes, or until center is firm to the touch.
• Remove tart form oven, and immediately top with sliced tomatoes.
• Sprinkle tops of tomatoes with cilantro and serve.
• Fresh salsa or sour cream make nice garnishes.
