This month, for You Want Pies with That?, Jenn of Piccante Dolce asked us to bake a pie that was inspired by a vacation we’ve taken or hope to take.
That was easy: Nice, France. On some travel or food show a few years ago, I saw pictures of the sun drenched Mediterranean, azure waters, and markets overflowing with beautiful produce. So, I slow roasted some Roma tomatoes in the oven after tossing them with olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Then I layered them on top of crumbled goat cheese and fresh basil, all nestled in a savory butter crust.
How did it turn out? A lot better than that awful picture! My husband and I (well, mostly me) almost ate the whole thing in one sitting. Definitely on the repeat list.
Be sure to see what pies others came up with this month at the Pies with That blogroll!

Oh, that definitely smacks of southern France. My goat-cheese-loving daughter would really enjoy it, I’m sure.
This looks fantastic. Oh, summer tomatoes. Yum.
Mmmmm, this looks really delicious! Love the idea of tomatoes in a tart like that…yum!
Your tart looks delicious!! Tomatoes, cheese, buttery crust?? Yes please 🙂
Okay, that looks great. Makes me want to go to France, or your house, for something like that 😉
Gorgeous job! This makes me wish I was sitting in a sidewalk cafe in France, eating this and drinking a glass of wine… ah to dream…
sounds amazing. I’ll take a slice right now please!
Savory pie, I love savory pie too 🙂 And I wish I had gone to Nice…I’ve been to Annecy, further north. France really is lovely 🙂
Your entries always surprise me. I would love a big slice of this right now.
Wow–this looks good! You don’t see a lot of ‘savory’ tarts! YUM!
Ooohh! That sounds fabulous. I love tomatoes and goat cheese.
In terms of eating, I think I like savory over sweet pies, not that I don’t like the sweet ones. Tomatoes and cheese is simply more appealing to my taste.
I am planning on making a tomato pie, next week. I wanted to make it this week, but we had do much good food on hand, I waited. Although, I am not adding cheese to mine, your photo has given me quite a longing for tomato pies.
Ooooh, see, I’ve been wanting to try roasting tomatoes for a long time… this looks like a perfect excuse to finally try them.
It looks fabulous!
I love how you usually do savory pies for this and this one might be my favorite you’ve ever done! Looks perfect and something I’ll try my own hand at very soon!
Great tart!
