Gruyère and Tomato Custard Tart

Name: Gruyère and Tomato Custard Tart
Brand: Salt & Straw
Price: 15 USD
Availability: InStock

A savory ‘slice’ in our spread of summer pies. Juicy tomato jam marbles through a silky Gruyère cheese filling, baked into the buttery, flaky pie crust we adore from Grand Central Bakery. Once it’s bubbling and golden, we dice the tart into cheesy, bite-sized morsels and toss them into a smooth salt & pepper custard ice cream. The warm, fruity heat of aranya pepper pairs beautifully with the tomato’s natural sweetness. Consider it a light lunch in disguise.

To create this savory flavor, we start with a custard base, incorporating egg yolks for added richness and depth. It’s a dense, luxurious backdrop for our Gruyère and tomato tart, its texture almost like a super-cold crème brûlée—softer than ice cream, firmer than soft serve, and richer than both. We spent a long time choosing the right pepper to season the custard. Aranya pepper offers a fruitier flavor profile that complements the tomato beautifully, while other black peppers had a dusty spice quality that wasn’t quite as delicious.
