Roll the dough on a floured surface until 3mm thick. Cut a circle about 35 cm diameter. Transfer to a lightly floured baking dish, the pastry is up the sides, and trim. Chill for 30 minutes. In a large bowl, lightly whisk the eggs and cream together, and then mix in the ricotta, feta and parmesan cheese, and five sliced tomatoes. Season with nutmeg, salt and pepper.
Spoon the cheese and tomato mixture onto the centre of the pastry.
Arrange the remaining sliced tomato over the filling. Brush the pastry edges with beaten egg yolk or milk and bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown.
Sprinkle the tart with chopped parsley and freshly ground black pepper and serve
