Tomato Cheese Tart

I know, this might sound weird, but this is a tomato cheese tart. It’s on a thick crust with a cream cheese like filling topped with glazed and skinned cherry tomatoes. So how did it taste? Actually quite good. It was hard for me to initially wrap my head around the idea of tomato, but it tasted good. I mean tomatoes are fruit after all.
