Anyways, there are plenty of things to make with tomatoes but I wanted something different; not pizza but a tart. So here it is the Easy Tomato Tart;
maybe I should call it cheater's tart as I did not make the dough myself but again this girl is not ready to make puff pastry from scratch :)
Easy Tomato Tart
- 1 Sheet frozen Puff Pastery - prepared for baking
- 1 C Tofutti Better than Ricotta Cheese {or other vegan Ricotta}
- 3/4 C chopped fresh basil
- 1 egg
- 1 C grated Parmesiano Regiano {optional}
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- app. 1-1/2 lbs. Tomatoes sliced
- Preheat oven to 400F
- thaw and roll out dough according to package directions; place dough into a springform {I use a 9-1/2" Kaiser spring form} be sure to pull up-sides without breaking the dough as high as possible
- Mix vegan ricotta well with basil, salt, pepper, parmesiano regiano {if using}, and one egg;
- Spread the mixture evenly onto the dough into the bottom of the pan
- Cover the ricotta mixture with sliced tomatoes {we like tomatoes so we used a lot}
- Bake for 45 - 50 minutes
Enjoy! - I served it with a mixed salad but actually had a two course meal, as we each started dinner with a bowl of Cold Cucumber Soup aka as Cold Cucumber Bowl.
