Let’s pretend we are neighbors for a second. Wouldn’t that be awesome? We’d have coffee together in the mornings with an occasional cinnamon roll or maybe a slice of coffee cake. I’d call you up last minute to see if you wanna hop in the car for a late night Target run and you’d totally be down. In fact, you suggest we hit up IKEA on the way there. Good call! Sometimes I’d borrow a few eggs or a cup of sugar and I’d always repay you with delicious treats.
One day you’d drop off a box of tomatoes from your garden and within hours I’d show up at your door with this Three Cheese & Herb Tomato Tart. You’d invite me in, offer me a slice (even though I already ate two before I arrived at your door) and we’d sit on your back porch eating together. We’d talk about what was going on in the neighborhood (why does that dog ALWAYS bark?!). I’d pull up some hilarious videos on You Tube from my phone and then you’d show me a sewing project you’re working on. Eventually we’d have some fancy boozy beverage and no doubt we’d drink too much. I love how we never have to worry about driving home!
When I ask you what you liked about this tart, you’d say “Duh! There’s puff pastry involved!” Then you’d marvel at how perfect your homegrown tomatoes taste paired with a blend of three different cheeses, garlic and herbs. I’m so glad we’re neighbors, aren’t you? Now can I please borrow your hedge trimmers? My front yard is getting unruly.
