Basil Tomato Tart
8 to 10 servings
12 cup flour
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 large or 2 medium ripe tomatoes, sliced 1/4-inch thick
1 pie crust (home made, or frozen, etc.) *see notes below
3 green onions (scallions), chopped ~ both white and green parts
1/3 cup fresh basil, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup real mayonnaise (not sandwich spread)
2 cups grated Swiss cheese
Optional:
8-10 black olives
8-10 fresh basil leaves
Preheat oven to 350º(F)
Pour flour, salt and pepper into a plastic bag, place sliced tomatoes into bag and shake well to coat evenly. Layer tomatoes on bottom of piecrust. Sprinkle green onions and basil evenly over the tomatoes, mix the mayonnaise and Swiss cheese together and spread it evenly over the ingredients in the pie crust. Bake for approximately 35 to 40 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Allow to stand for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish each slice with a basil leaf and olive if desired.
Delicious warm or at room temperature.
This can be made into small tarts: Cut pastry into rounds, larger than tartlet pans. For the tomatoes use either smaller tomatoes (to fit into bottom of tartlet lined pastry, chopped and drained tomatoes, or
cherry or grape tomatoes, cut in half.) Proceed with recipe.
Enjoy!

Cheesy Tomato Melts
1 (16 ounce) loaf garlic bread, split
---(I just make my own garlic butter and lightly spread on a split 16 ounce loaf)
2 Tablespoons good mayonnaise (not sandwich spread)
1/2 cup basil, torn or chopped
3 medium tomatoes, sliced
1 pound bacon, cooked and crumbled
Salt and Pepper to taste
8 ounces aged white cheddar cheese, grated (or your favorite cheese)
Preheat 450º(F)
Cut each half loaf into three pieces. Bake, cut side up, for 4 minutes. Spread with
mayonnaise and sprinkle with basil. Top with tomatoes, bacon, salt and pepper.
Sprinkle with cheese and bake 2 more minutes.
My variation:
Bake the split garlic bread as directed. Slice the split loaves into 1 1/2 to 2-inch wide slices.
I coarsely chopped (and drained) the tomatoes so they would fit more evenly on the bread.
Proceed with recipe.
Optional: Thread whole fresh basil leaves on wooden skewers and place in bread vertically to represent sails.
Enjoy!
