Fresh Tomato Tart

By Shelly Kahle

I had a lot of tomatoes in my garden and wanted to make something yummy with them and decided to try this. I am so glad that I did, it is delicious.

1 refrigerated pie crust
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
6 tomatoes
3/4 cup fresh basil leaves
4 cloves of garlic
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 cup mayo
salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 450

Press pie crust into 9" pie plate and prick with a fork on the bottom. Par bake for about 7 minutes till dry. Remove and sprinkle with 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese. Cool. Reduce oven temperature to 375.
Cut tomatoes into chunks and drain to remove most of the water, then put into pie pan. In a food processor combine basil and garlic and coarsely chop. In a bowl, combine basil, garlic mixture, remaining cheese, parmesan, mayo, salt and pepper and spread over the tomatoes.
Bake for 25 minutes, let stand for 5 minutes and serve.
