Ingredients

• 200 grams all-purpose flour
• 100 grams unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 4 tablespoons cold water
• 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 3 large ripe tomatoes (assorted colors, thinly sliced)
• 0.5 cup kalamata olives (pitted and halved)
• 0.33 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, poppy seeds, and sea salt.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Gradually add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing with a fork until the dough comes together. Knead gently to form a smooth ball.

Step 5

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes to chill.

Step 6

On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a rough 10-inch (25-cm) circle. Carefully transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

Arrange the sliced tomatoes in a single layer over the dough, leaving a 1-inch (2.5 cm) border around the edges.

Step 8

Scatter the kalamata olives and crumbled feta cheese evenly over the tomatoes.

Step 9

Drizzle the tart with olive oil and sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves and ground black pepper.

Step 10

Fold the edges of the dough up slightly over the toppings to create a rustic crust.

Step 11

Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown and the tomatoes are slightly caramelized.

Step 12

Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 13

Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy this flavorful tart as a delightful appetizer or light main course.
