Feel free to experiment with different herbs and cheeses to customize the flavor profile. This tart is delicious warm or at room temperature, making it perfect for picnics and gatherings.

Spread mustard over the inside of the tart. Arrange tomato slices into a single layer on top and cut a few slices in half to fill in the gaps. Season with salt and pepper. Generously sprinkle herbes de Provence on top. Add Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and drizzle most of the olive oil on top.
