One reason I’m not much of a baker is that I don’t really like sweets. If my husband and I are dining out in a restaurant, I’m more likely to order a cheese plate than a dessert to end my meal. One of the things I’m most enjoying about food52 is that it has inspired me to get out of my comfort zone a little, and push myself to try things I may not normally do, and so it was that I found myself on a rainy Saturday afternoon putting together my first pastry dough. Most good cheese plates will balance savory cheeses with a little something sweet, and that was my inspiration for this rustic tart.
