Fresh Tomato Tart
(Great as an appetizer or side dish)
1 Pre made pie crust
8 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
2 Tablespoons chopped fresh basil
4 or 5 ripe tomatoes, cut in 1/2-inch slices
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Chopped fresh basil for garnish
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a 10-inch loose-bottom tart pan with pie crust. (If you don’t own a tart pan you can use a 10-inch round pan.) Cover the bottom with cheese and sprinkle with basil. Arrange the tomato slices to cover the cheese as evenly as possible. Sprinkle the tomatoes with salt and pepper and drizzle with oil. Bake 30 to 40 minutes. Garnish with chopped basil. Slice in wedges and serve warm or at room temperature. Serves 8-10
