In the summer when tomatoes are in season, I love this tart for a late brunch. If you can find nice roma tomatoes, this is an excellent go-to tart in which the tomatoes actually taste like tomatoes. I had my first Caprese salad in Amalfi, and I will never forget the combination of the creamy mozzarella, acidic tomatoes and herbal basil. Always use the best extra virgin olive oil you can find – avoid the infused varieties from those jug olive oil stores – and a good quality salt, like Maldon. Don’t forget to pair your brunch creations with a festive bottle of bubbly or freshly squeezed juice.
