Tomato Tart

This is such a yummy and simple side dish! You can make it as is or doctor it up a bit, but rest assured, you wont be disappointed.

Ingredients:

1 pie crust(I use the rolled up kind in the refrigerated section)
2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
2 TBSP. fresh basil, chopped
2 - 3 med. ripe tomatoes, sliced into 1/2 inch slices (I usually use two tomatoes)
1 1/2 TBSP olive oil
salt and pepper

Fit piecrust into a 9 or 10 inch tart pan with removable bottom. Trim off excess pastry along edges. Generously prick bottom and sides of pastry with a fork.

Bake at 400 degrees for five minutes.

Sprinkle cheese evenly over pastry, and top with 2 TBSP of basil. Arrange the tomato slices on top, brush with oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sprinkle rest of basil on top.

Place on a baking sheet, and bake at 400 degrees for 35 - 40 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Serves 8.
