Cherry Tomato Tarte Tatin

Hey food lovers!

I’m definitely a fan of spring and all the flavors that come back to our tables… Today, I’m sharing an ultra-indulgent vegetarian recipe.

Here’s my cherry tomato Tarte Tatin.

My passion for Tatin

I think you’re going to love this recipe that brings sunshine to your table… Just a reminder, I already have some Tatin-themed recipes, both sweet and savory. Here they are:

• the classic apple Tarte Tatin (for a truly indulgent dessert)
• my shallot Tarte Tatin
• the apple cake Tatin style
• the Tatin tartlets
• and the Christmas Yule log Tatin with cocoa beans.

My tips to succeed with your cherry tomato Tarte Tatin

It was about time I added a new savory recipe! Let me tell you more about my cherry tomato Tarte Tatin… First, we’ll prepare a puff pastry. I really recommend making your own puff pastry. There are few ingredients in this recipe, so it’s important they’re all high quality. You can choose either my quick puff pastry (used here), which has a nice buttery flavor and is ready quickly, or the more traditional recipe, which is even better but requires several steps and resting times.

A really simple recipe

Then we’ll make a caramel deglazed with wine vinegar that brings a balance of sweetness and tanginess to your cherry tomato Tarte Tatin. And that’s it. This recipe is truly simple to make and tastes absolutely amazing. Cherry tomatoes confit in caramel—love it!

Don’t miss this important tip

One last note: depending on the quality and variety of your cherry tomatoes, you might have a lot of juice in your pan at the end of baking. To avoid soggy pastry and a disaster when unmolding, I suggest tilting your pan while gently pressing on the pastry to drain the juice into a container. You can then serve this juice as a sauce on the cherry tomato Tarte Tatin, letting everyone drizzle it on their plate. It would be a shame to waste it because it’s super tasty! 😉

Size your starter accordingly…

This recipe serves 6 as a starter. If you serve it as a main, count 4 servings.

Necessary tools:

A stand mixer (or a large bowl),

A saucepan,

A spatula,

A good paring knife,

And a 23 cm Tatin pan.

Alright! I’ve shared everything, so no excuses not to make my cherry tomato Tarte Tatin…

The recipe, Chef!
