Tart Crust adapted from 101 Cookbooks
1 teaspoon Fine grain Sea Salt
1/2 cup All purpose Flour
1/2 cup Whole Wheat flour
1/2 cup Unsalted Butter well chilled and cut into pieces
2 cups grated pecorino and parmesan chhese
1/4 cup chopped chives
2 tablespoons ice water
2 tablespoons olive oil

1 large onion sliced
3-4 cloves garlic sliced into slivers

3/4 cup Dutch Parrano Cheese
3/4 cup Gruyere Cheese
1 Head of Cauliflower cut into tiny florets and roasted

1
["preheat the oven to 350
2
Make the tart crust(s):
3
Place both flours, butter, and cheese in a food processor and pulse quickly about 25 times. You are looking for a sandy textured blend, punctuated with pea-sized pieces of butter. With a few more pulses, blend in the 2T of ice water. The dough should stick together when your pinch it between two fingers. Add the chopped chives. Pour the dough into the tart pan. Working quickly, press the dough uniformly into the pan by pressing across the bottom and working towards the sides and up to form a rim. Place in the refrigerator and chill for 15 minutes.
4
Bake the tart crust:
5
Pull the tarts out of the refrigerator and poke each a few times with the tongs of a fork. Cover the tart with a square of aluminum foil and fill generously with pie weights. Place on a baking sheet and slide the tart onto the middle rack in the oven. Bake for 15 minutes, pull the shell out of the oven and very gently peel back and remove the tinfoil containing the pie weights. Place the uncovered tart back in the oven, weight free, and allow to cook for another 10 minutes, or until it is a deep golden brown in color. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with a little shredded Parmesan (this will act as another barrier to the tomato liquid). Let cool to room temperature before filling.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
