A delicious low carb goat cheese tart with crisp bacon and fresh tomatoes. The press-in almond flour crust is tender and flavourful. Serve warm or cold as a healthy appetizer or main dish.
I think it’s fair to say that I am ridiculously excited about the coming summer produce season. I’ve already planted my own tomatoes, peppers and zucchini and I’ve started haunting the website of our local farmer’s market in anticipation of opening day. And I can hardly contain myself at the thought of going strawberry picking. I’m always eager for the wonderful flavours of summer but this year I seem to be more eager than years past. It may have to do with the harsh winter we had, which was then followed by a cool, rainy spring. The tastes of summer have never seemed more enticing after all of that snow and rain. Let’s just hope we get enough sun and warmth for things to really grow. You never know, in New England.
Another great way to use up those summer tomatoes? Try this Homemade Tomato Basil Sauce
All this anticipation of strawberries, tomatoes and zucchini has my mind awhirl with recipes that use them to advantage. Granted, it will be a while before I can use local tomatoes in my recipes, but I simply couldn’t wait to make this tart. It has bacon, after all and thankfully, bacon is always in season. I used Campari tomatoes (about the size of large cherry tomatoes) because I find them to be the most flavourful store bought variety, but you can use whatever you have on hand. And if you happen to live in a warmer area and tomatoes are already in season, this recipe is perfectly timed! The press-in crust is tender and delicious and the tart makes a great appetizer or main dish. The leftovers also make a great breakfast!

This tart is destined to become my new favorite thing ever!
Malainie says
Bacon has now been added to the ingredients list. This looks really good. I love the brown tomatoes, labeled Kumatoes, that Trader Joe’s carries, super good year round.
Amanda says
Your recipes are incredible! Most low carb recipes do not look appetizing but yours are drool worthy!
Malainie says
I don’t have a tart pan. Would a nine inch ceramic pie pan work?
Carolyn says
Yes, that would be perfect.
Susan says
Do you have a printable version? I found the recipe on SheKnows but there isn’t a printable version. Thanks!
Carolyn says
No, in this case you will have to cut and paste into a word doc.
Linda says
I made this for dinner a couple of nights ago, this recipe is a keeper. I used home grown tomatoes and no-nitrate bacon. It was a hit, and leftovers reheat well.
Carolyn says
I am jealous of your homegrown tomatoes. Ours won’t be in for another month or so!
Liz says
Made this tonight and it was fabulous! Thanks for the recipe! I subbed half and half because that’s what I had and it still turned out great. This crust is going to be my go-to for low carb quiches!
Anya says
This tart is delicious. Made it many times now. I prefer something savory for breakfast rather than sweet. This tart is perfect. I keep base and put what ever I have in the fridge. Last time it was mushrooms and breakfast links. Very good, thank you for the recipe.
Carolyn says
Mmmm, mushrooms and breakfast sausage would be great!
Linda Biggs says
The link to the recipe on she knows is broken 🙁
Carolyn says
Thanks for the heads up. Let me see if I can get them to fix it.
Carolyn says
Looks like they changed the URL. Here’s the new one http://www.sheknows.com/food-and-recipes/articles/1042071/low-carb-bacon-goat-cheese-and-tomato-tart
Fixing my post now…
Joyce says
Where do I buy the press in almond crust?
Carolyn says
You don’t buy it, you make it.
Ellena says
Has anyone tried freezing this? Does it hold up okay?
ADS says
What an incredible tart. Perfect for a healthy weekend brunch.
Duane Wiley says
Can you recommend an alternative cheese for this recipe? I don’t like the taste of Goat Cheese. Thanks! Love your recipes!
Carolyn says
Just do cream cheese, it should work fine as long as you let it soften.

love it, love it, love it, LOVE IT!!!
