Message from Maggie:

Mr. Magpie requested a hot appetizer the night we hosted his family.   I came up with this semi-homemade tomato tart for his family to enjoy.

Ingredients:

  • 1 uncooked pizza dough crust
  • About 2 medium tomatoes (2 medium should work)
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 fresh mozzarella cheese ball, cut into thin slices
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 3 Fresh basil leaves, chiffonade

Instructions:

  1. Roll out dough on a baking sheet and curl edges to create a crust.
  2. Slice tomatoes thin and place on paper towel. Sprinkle with salt. Let sit for over 30-45 minutes.
  3. Brush dough with beaten egg.
  4. Cover dough with shredded parmesan cheese and poke with a fork all over.
  5. Place dough in a 425 degree oven and bake for 20 minutes.
  6. Let cool a bit.
  7. Meanwhile, use a paper towel to dab off the liquid on the top of the tomatoes.
  8. Alternate lines of tomato slices and mozzarella cheese.
  9. Mix olive oil and garlic together and brush on top of cheese.
  10. Bake the tart for 10-15 more minutes.
  11. After removing from oven sprinkle with fresh basil.

Yields about 10 slices
