I didn't think I'd love or hate this one, just happened to remember the show and I craved it. I actually used sour cream instead of the creme fraiche, AND baked it in a regular pie plate since I did not have a tart pan at the time :( This ende dup being one of my favorite recipes from Emeril! My cooking time was a little bit longer, otherwise my potatoes would have been underdone. Next time I'll try slicing them even thinner, but I have no complaints about the flavor!

My tart too took more like 30 minutes to cook. It did turn out to be a really nice tart though. I made my own pastry case and I also cooked the onions and tomatoes first. I would be interested to know how the tart turns out if you just put them in uncooked as per the recipe, I was worried that they would release too much liquid during cooking if I added them raw and make the tart soggy. I did use the creme fraiche which I thought gave a pleasant change of flavour from the usual heavy cream.

The recipe is very tasty. I love leeks so I substitute those for the onions. I also used the heavy cream, but I wonder if that made it too soupy. The total cooking time was about 45 minutes versus the advertised 10-12 minutes! I am determined to perfect it though so I'm trying again tonight, this time putting the potatoes on the bottom and tomatoes on top.

I substituted Sarah Moulton's Butter Pastry Dough recipe for the store bought and it was worth it. The tart was outstanding. I also used heavy cream in place of the creme fraich.
