Ingredients: 1 recipe Basil and Garlic Tart Dough (below) 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, very thinly sliced 2 large, ripe tomatoes (about 1 pound), cored and cut crosswise into thin slices Salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Directions:1. Prepare the dough as instructed below and fit it into a 10-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. 2. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line the bottom of the tart shell with the slices of cheese. Arrange the tomatoes over the cheese in a ring around the edge of the tart and a second ring in the center, slightly overlapping the slices. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste and drizzle with the oil. 3. Bake until the crust is golden brown and the cheese has started to brown in spots, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool on a rack for at least 5 minutes before slicing. Serve hot, warm or at room temperature. |
