Instructions
Creating Tomato Tart is a straightforward process if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Pie Crust: Place the pre-made pie crust in a tart pan and poke holes in the bottom with a fork. Pre-bake for 10 minutes to set the crust.
3. Prepare the Tomatoes: While the crust is baking, slice the tomatoes and place them on a paper towel to absorb excess moisture.
4. Mix the Cheeses: In a bowl, combine the mozzarella and feta cheese. Add chopped basil, thyme, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well.
5. Assemble the Tart: Once the crust is slightly golden, remove it from the oven. Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the crust.
6. Layer the Tomatoes: Arrange the sliced tomatoes on top of the cheese mixture, overlapping them slightly for a beautiful presentation.
7. Drizzle with Olive Oil: Lightly drizzle olive oil over the tomatoes and sprinkle with additional salt and pepper to taste.
8. Bake the Tart: Return the tart to the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the tomatoes are tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
9. Cool the Tart: Remove from the oven and let the tart cool for about 15 minutes before slicing.
10. Serve with Balsamic (optional): If desired, drizzle balsamic vinegar over the tart before serving for added flavor.
