One thought on “Cherry Tomato & Goat Cheese Tart

  1. This recipe looks great. I always end up with too many cherry tomatoes in the summer and would love to be able to use them in the recipe. However, I don’t think you meant “1” red cherry or pear tomatoes as stated in your recipe. Maybe 1 pound or 10 tomatoes?
