Ingredients
  

  • 1 store-bought or homemade dough for tart shell
  • 6-8 ounces mozzarella cheese shredded (I often use fresh and slice it into disks)
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese plus extra for sprinkling on top
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil plus extra for garnish
  • 4 to 6 fresh tomatoes sliced 1/4-inch thick
  • 1 red onion sliced thin for layering
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • Basil chopped for garnish

Method
 

  1. Bake the crust in a preheated oven (400 degrees) for 10-15 minutes before adding any ingredients
  2. Add the cheese to the bottom of the baked crust
  3. Add chopped basil
  4. Layer tomatoes and onions (usually 3 layers deep) adding salt and pepper to each layer
  5. Drizzle tomatoes with olive oil and salt and pepper the top
  6. Bake at 400 for another 25 minutes or so
  7. Garnish with chopped basil
