Pate Brisee

Annette is always telling me how easy it is to make this pastry so I bought a tart pan with a removable bottom a while ago but just got around to experimenting with a recipe from EAT called "Roasted Tomato Tart". I liked all the ingredients...cheese (I used 4 yr old goat cheddar), onions, tomatoes, nicoise olives, herbes de Provence, fleur de sel. Tim and Bronwen were the guinea pigs. It was quite delicious except the pastry did fall apart when I put it in the pan and half the crust fell on the floor when I took it out of the oven since the side part of the pan fell off.
