Tomato Basil Tart

We made this with the wonderful homegrown tomatoes from PawPaw’s garden.   Be careful when serving.  Once I lifted a slice from the dish and reached over the person sitting at the table, when it slid off the spatula and into their lap.  What a hot surprise!  They ate it anyway.  It’s that good.

  1. We made tomato tart inspired panini sandwiches with ciabatta, fresh mozzarella, sliced tomatoes, and basil. I mixed some mayo and parm to spread on the bread and sprinkled the tomatoes and cheese with a little salt and pepper. It was delicious! – Elizabeth
