Mozzarella Tart With Fresh Tomatoes & Roasted Garlic

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. 2

   Sprinkle work surface with flour.

3. 3

   Unwrap both sheets of pastry dough. Brush one short side of one sheet of dough with egg and overlap second piece of dough to form one large piece of dough. Press the seal together using a rolling pin. Smooth out dough and roll piece into 18 X 19-inch size. Transfer into a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper

4. 4

   Using a sharp knife, cut a 1-inch strip from each of 4 sides. Brush sides with egg and place one strip on each side, or if you want a more rustic look, simply fold a 1-inch edge up on all 4 sides.

5. 5

   Using a fork, poke holes in the entire sheet. Sprinkle with half of Parmesan cheese and bake 13-15 minutes and then reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees and continue to bake 13-15 minutes longer, until crisp. Remove from oven. (This can be done early in the day and set aside.)

6. 6

   Either the day before or while pastry is baking, cut up tomatoes and toss with olive oil, garlic and salt. Set aside.

7. 7

   Just before serving, preheat oven to 450 degrees. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the tart. Top with tomatoes and garlic mixture. Top with half of Parmesan cheese. Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

8. 8

   Remove from oven. Top with fresh basil, cut and serve.
