Steps to make 🍅🌿TOMATO & BASIL TART🌿🍅:

1. #For_the_crust: - - Place crackers in a food processor and pulse to a fine crumb texture. - Add sugar and pepper and pulse to combine. - With the processor running, add melted butter and continue processing until everything is combined.
2. Pour crumbs into tart shell (you can also use a 9-inch pie shell) and evenly press over the bottom and up the sides. Firmly press in the crumbs to ensure a sturdy crust. Use the bottom of a measuring cup to assist on the sides.
3. Place prepared crust in a preheated 325°F oven for 10-12 minutes until the crumb is fragrant and lightly golden. - Remove from oven and cool completely.
4. #For_the_filling: - - Place ricotta, salt, and pepper in a food processor or (whisk by hand) pulse to combine. Add parsley and chives and process until herbs are just combine.
5. #How_To_Assemble: - - Pour filling into prepared crust and smooth evenly over the crust. - Slice tomatoes arrange the single layer across the top with cucumber. If you want to prepare the crust and filling a couple of hours in advance, fill the tart shell and place in the refrigerator. Then place the tomatoes on the filling right before serving. - Garnish with fresh basil and serve.
6. #Notes: - - I know sugar seems odd in a savory crust but it is essential in cracker crumb crusts. The sugar melts into the crumbs during baking and when it cools, it hardens and becomes a crust that stays together and holds any filling!

The tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is a fruit from the nightshade family native to South America. Despite botanically being a fruit, it's generally eaten and prepared like a vegetable. Place tomato stakes or cages in the soil at the time of planting to avoid damaging roots later on. Staking keeps developing tomato fruit off the ground, while caging lets the plant hold itself upright. Tomato plants need to move and sway in the breeze to develop strong stems.
