Equipment

  • bowl

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F. Line rimmed baking sheet with foil; brush foil with 1 tablespoon oil.
  2. Place tomato halves, cut side up, on baking sheet.
  3. Sprinkle garlic and 1 tablespoon thyme over tomatoes; drizzle remaining 1/4 cup oil over.
  4. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.
  5. Bake until tomatoes begin to shrink and are slightly dried but still soft, about 2 hours. Cool tomatoes on sheet. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Store in single layer in covered container in refrigerator.)
  6. Roll out pastry on lightly floured surface to 13-inch square.
  7. Transfer pastry to 9-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom, pressing pastry firmly onto bottom and sides of pan. Trim overhang to 3/4 inch. Fold overhang in and press, pushing crust 1/4 inch above pan. Pierce crust all over with fork; chill 30 minutes.

  9. Bake until crust is set, about 20 minutes.
  10. Remove foil and beans; bake until crust edges are golden, piercing with fork if crust bubbles, about 12 minutes longer. Cool crust 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F.
  11. Meanwhile, using fork, mash mozzarella cheese, goat cheese, and remaining 1 tablespoon thyme together in medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
  12. Add eggs and cream and stir until mixture is well blended.
