Tomato Tart

This tomato tart is a lot like a pizza, and would make a great appetizer or main dish. We used a combination of golden grape and cherry tomatoes. This would be a great use for fresh garden tomatoes!
Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 18 minutes
Total Time 48 minutes
Servings: 8
Course: Appetizers

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large onions cut into thin slices
  • 1 package of puff pastries let them come to room temp
  • 1 1/2 cups Monterey Jack cheese grated
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 1/4 cup Greyere cheese grated
  • 1 1/2 cups golden grape tomatoes
  • 1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup fresh cut basil
  • salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Start by caramelizing the onions: heat the onion slices with some salt and pepper in a non-stick skillet for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and golden brown
  2. While the onions are cooking, grate the 3 cheeses and cut up the basil leaves.
  3. Spread the puff pastries onto a greased baking sheet, gently stretching it to fill the whole sheet, you may need to use part of a second pastry.
  4. Layer on all of the ingredients except for the basil. Starting with the cheeses, then the onions, and finally the tomatoes.
  5. Bake the tart for 15-18 minutes, checking on it occasionally for bubbles in the crust. If bubbles appear, just stab them with a fork or knife.
  6. When the crust is golden brown and the tomatoes look wrinkly, pull it out, allow to cool for a few minutes and sprinkle on the basil.
