Soft Savory Tart
This soft tart (egg-free) is a truly delicious wildcard and easy to prepare for any occasion, can be filled in many ways with fridge leftovers and is an ideal summer appetizer to prepare in advance, also great for summer cocktails.
I filled it “caprese style”, with cream cheese, mozzarella, and tomatoes, but it’s also delicious with stracchino and salmon, for example. A cold dish that can also be prepared for picnics at the beach or mountains
A very easy and quick summer appetizer, prepares in 10 minutes! It can also serve as a main course.

Preparation of the Soft Savory Tart
First, prepare the base of the soft tart by mixing with an electric whisk: flour, potato starch, grated parmesan, ricotta, milk, seed oil, and salt.
Finally, add the packet of instant yeast for savory cakes and mix well.
Pour the mixture into a “clever pan” of 8.5-9.5 inches (see note at the end of the article) oiled and floured and bake at 350°F for about 25-30 minutes.
Cool the soft tart, then flip it and fill it with a layer of spreadable cheese (I used Philadelphia), followed by alternating slices of mozzarella and tomato.
Then season with basil, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper (optional). It is eaten cold.
Another filling variation could be stracchino and smoked salmon, perhaps during the Christmas holidays.
Shopping Tips!!!
To make this soft tart, I used a wonderful clever charlotte pan by Nordic Ware, which is not only aesthetically beautiful but also cooks and unmolds perfectly (cast aluminum distributes heat evenly, that’s what makes the difference!) You can find it on Amazon at a special price
Otherwise, you can easily use this economic tart pan, which you can always find on Amazon.
