Goat Cheese Honey Tart
Fork the bottom of the tart shell. Spread on mustard until the base is covered.
Cover with a scattering of fresh herbs.
Arrange slices of tomato, keeping in mind that tomatoes do shrink.
Drizzle olive oil over tomatoes and season with salt and pepper.
Arrange 6 to 8 round discs of goat cheese cut about 1/2 inch thick on top of the tomatoes.
Drizzle honey over the entire tart, saving some honey for drizzling once tart is out of the oven.
Bake at 400 for 30 minutes. If making smaller tarts, reduce baking time.
Goat cheese will bubble and turn a golden brown. Serve hot or at room temperature.
