Scale
For the crust:

- 1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 2 tablespoons beaten egg
For the ricotta:
- 1/2 cup whole milk ricotta
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
For the garlic oil:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoons fresh garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoons fresh oregano, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
For the topping:
- 1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved (or 2 medium sized tomatoes sliced into 1/4 inch slices.)
- 2 slices prosciutto, cut into thin strips
Instructions
For the crust:
- Mash the butter and salt together with a fork in a medium bowl. Add the coconut flour, almond flour, beaten egg, and xanthan gum and work with the fork until fully combined.
- Form the dough into a tight ball, wrap with plastic wrap and chill for at least 1/2 hour.
- Once chilled, place the ball of dough onto a piece of parchment paper. Cover with another piece of parchment (or wax paper) and roll into a 16 inch disk. Peel off the top layer of parchment paper carefully and place the disk and bottom parchment layer onto a cookie sheet.
For the ricotta layer:
- Combine the ricotta cheese, parsley, salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese in a small bowl and mix thoroughly.
For the garlic oil:
- Combine the olive oil, garlic, oregano, and salt in a small bowl.
To assemble the tart:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees (F)
- Spread the ricotta layer over the raw crust, leaving a 2 inch border of crust with no ricotta.
- Top the ricotta layer with the cherry tomato halves, and then the prosciutto.
- Fold the 2 inches of the edge of the crust up over the sides of the filling.
- Drizzle the garlic oil over the top of the tart.
- Bake the tart in a 375 degree (F) oven for 35 minutes or until golden brown.
- Serve warm or chilled.
