Tomato Basil Tart
- 2/3 puff pastry rds of a sheet of
- 1 handful fresh basil
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes fresh
- 4 ounces cream cheese 1/3 less fat, softened
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 egg white
- fresh ground black pepper
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- On a floured surface, roll out your puff pastry until it makes a nice large square.
- Transfer the flattened pastry to a pizza pan (you can use some other kind of pan but the pizza pan is so nice and uniformly round).
- Take your cream cheese and if it's already softened, add the garlic powder and mix well. If you're like me and don't have the patience to wait, put it in a bowl and microwave for 15 seconds, then add the garlic powder and mix well.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture over the center of the puff pastry, leaving about a one inch edge uncovered.
- Crank a bit of black pepper over the whole thing.
- Slice the cherry tomatoes in half.
- Layer the basil leaves (I like them whole, but you can certainly cut them) over the cream cheese mixture.
- Layer the tomatoes between the basil.
