Yum, this recipe was on my “To do” list and I decided to bake it when my best friends told me that they were coming here at home, just to say hi. And they loved it, they ate almost everything…haha, but I don’t know which way was more delicious, hot or cold, because either way this tart was so good. I got the recipe here, and I loved it because it is super easy to make it and the most important, delicious. But I made a change, I had some cheddar in the fridge so I put half of mozzarella and half cheddar and it was great, but I think next time I will put the filling in a larger pan and perhaps increase the crust because for me the filling was a little thick for the thin crust. But thick or thin the tart is great, delicious.
