Spelt Tomato and Feta Tart

freshly baked Spelt Tomato and Feta Tart

Why This Tart Works

This Spelt Tomato and Feta Tart is crisp, savoury, and easy to prepare. The spelt flour gives the crust a gentle nutty flavour without feeling heavy. The tomatoes bake until soft and sweet, while the feta adds a bright, salty contrast.
This recipe suits cooks of any level and works well for lunch, dinner, or a quick snack. You can serve it hot, warm, or cold with the same great taste.

What Makes It Special

This tart has a short list of ingredients and delivers strong results. Spelt offers a more wholesome base than standard white flour. The combination of tomatoes, herbs, and feta creates a simple Mediterranean flavour that works all year round.
It also reheats well and keeps its shape, which makes it ideal for meal prep, picnics, and packed lunches.

Tips & Variations

Boost the Flavour

Add a thin spread of pesto on the crust before adding tomatoes to give the tart a strong basil note. A sprinkle of chilli flakes adds light heat without overpowering the dish.

Change the Texture

If you prefer more crunch, bake the crust for a few extra minutes during the pre-bake stage. For a softer centre, use thicker tomato slices and extra olive oil.
