Instructions
To make the tart dough
Combine the flour, salt, and pepper.
Cut butter into the dough until mixture resembles bread crumbs.
Mix in oil and the water just until the bottom of the mixture begins to cling together. If the mixture seems too dry, add another tablespoon of oil.
Gather the dough into a ball, flatten and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Roll out the dough into a 14-inch circle and place it into a tart pan; set aside.
Spread the mustard over tart shell.
Sprinkle the Gruyère over the mustard and place the tomato and Camembert over the Gruyère.
In a small bowl, mix the 1/2 cup of extra-virgin olive oil, all of the herbs, and the garlic together and brush two-thirds over the tart.
Bake in the oven for 35 minutes.
Remove the tart and brush with the remaining oil. Serve warm.
