    Fresh Tomato Tart with Basil-Garlic Crust (Serves 4 to 6)[p]This tart is simple and delicious, with a brilliant green shell. [p]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 [p]Prepare the dough as instructed below and fit it into a 10-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.[p]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.[p]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.[p]Basil and Garlic Tart Dough[p]1/3 cup fresh basil leaves
    1 medium clove garlic
    1-1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
    1/2 tsp. salt
    8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, chilled and cut into 8 to 10 pieces
    4-5 tablespoons ice water [p]It's easiest to use a food processor to prepare the crust, but a pastry blender or your fingers will work equally well. [p]Place the basil and garlic in the work bowl of a food processor. Process, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed, until finely chopped.[p]Add the flour and salt and pulse several times to combine.[p]Place the butter in the work bowl. Pulse about 10 times, or until the mixture resembles pea-size crumbs.[p]Add the water, 1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing several times after each addition. After 4 tablespoons water have been added, process the dough for several seconds to see if it is coming together into a ball. If not, add the remaining 1 tablespoon water. Once the dough seems to be coming together, continue processing until it comes together into a ball. Remove the dough from the food processor.[p]Flatten the dough into a 5-inch disk. Wrap it in plastic and refrigerate for at least an hour.[p]Remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Follow tart recipe above.[p]Gretl Collins – BGE Board
