I received this tomato tart recipe from a good friend of mine. It's a fun way to use up fresh tomatoes from the garden, and it reminds me a lot of pizza.—Connie Stumpf, North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Ingredients

Dough for a single-crust pie (9 inches)
1-1/2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided
5 to 6 fresh plum tomatoes
1 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves
4 garlic cloves
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/8 teaspoon pepper

Directions

Roll dough to fit a 9-in. tart pan or pie plate; place in pan. Do not prick. Line crust with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil.
Bake at 450° for 5 minutes. Remove foil; bake 8 minutes more. Remove from the oven. Reduce heat to 375°. Sprinkle 1/2 cup mozzarella over the hot crust.
Cut each tomato into 8 wedges; remove seeds. Arrange over cheese.
In a food processor, process the basil and garlic until coarsely chopped; sprinkle over tomatoes.
Combine mayonnaise, Parmesan, pepper and the remaining mozzarella; spoon over basil. Bake, uncovered, until the cheese is browned and bubbly, 20-25 minutes.
