Fantastic! The only drawback was that I should have made more tarts. Everyone loved it.

I made this last night using small concord grapes from a local farm...they look like blueberries. I went to about five places looking for champagne grapes. It took a trip to Stop and Shop to find the soft (ish) peccorini. It was delicious! The crust in particular is wonderful and may become a staple for a variety of savory experiences!
Thanks for the treat!

Made this over the weekend for a group of friends. They gobbled it down. They loved the savory and sweet aspect of the grapes (I used regular red grapes which were actually smaller than my cherry tomatoes), the tomatoes and the crust. Personally I might tone down the amount of rosemary. As much as I love rosemary I thought it a little overpowering (I used the suggested amount of fresh rosemary). Other than that this is a winner i will make again also very easy!

Oh I am so happy you made it and that it worked! I agree - it is a lot of rosemary - I tend to be heavy handed with herbs because I love them so much - ginger too (in case you ever try anything of mine with ginger in it - it's gonna be STRONG! :-) I may have to make it again this weekend too. I finally have my OWN tart pan so I don't have to run across the street and borrow Ziekers!

I'd never have thought to pair cherry tomatoes and champagne grapes, but this looks and sounds delicious! Just yesterday I saw champagne grapes within reach of cherry tomatoes at my local Trader Joe's -- so I know where to find the ingredients and hope to try this soon.

This is so beautiful. The combination of grapes, cherry tomatoes and Pecorino cheese looks and sounds totally yummy. I would love to have a piece right now!

I just want to reiterate that this guinea pig LOVES her job as frequent "taster" for aargersi! I got to sample this lovely, and I do mean lovely, tart. (It's the small price she had to pay for using my tart pans. LOL)
This tart is amazingly light, sporting a perfectly flaky, thin crust, with just a touch of rosemary. The grapes give just enough sweetness to cut the acidity from the tomatoes. And who can resist the nuttiness of soft pecorino melting into the surface. I put mine into the oven under the broiler for just a few minutes to re-heat it and melt the cheese again... and then devoured it right off the baking sheet! It's that good!
This would make wonderful tartlets as a starter course or in addition to a lightly dressed salad of fresh greens. — So good!!! One of my fav aargersi recipes!!!

Oh, and with that extra dough... roll it out, cut it into strips or squares, bake and serve with the extra pecorino you might still have.

I came back from Italy in love with dry. pink. wines. This is gorgeous! I nominate, "I wanted mine to look more like a tomato mosh pit," for the next edition of Eat Your Words.
