You Gotta Eat It: Fresh Tomato Tart

The first tomatoes of the season are beginning to grace us with their presence.  I love going to the farmer's market on Saturday mornings and seeing the stands filled with tomatoes of all different shapes, colors and sizes.  This recipe uses small grape or cherry tomatoes but if you find some beautiful large herilomms, go ahead and use tomato slices.  When tomatoes are roasted, their natural sweetness comes out making them that much better.  Enjoy this savory tart for breakfast, brunch, or dinner.
