Servings: persons

unbleached all-purpose flour, for work surface
1 1/8 lbs frozen puff pastry, thawed in box in refrigerator overnight (Pepperidge Farm)
1 large egg, beaten
2 ounces grated parmesan cheese (about 1 cup)
1 lb plum tomato, cored and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices (about 3 to 4 medium)
table salt
2 garlic cloves, minced (about 2 teaspoons)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
ground black pepper
6 ounces smoked mozzarella cheese, shredded (2 cups)
2 tablespoons fresh basil, shredded

1
Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 425u00b0F
2
Dust work surface with flour and unfold both pieces puff pastry onto work surface. Following illustrations below, form 1 large sheet with border, using beaten egg as directed. Sprinkle Parmesan evenly over shell; using fork, uniformly and thoroughly poke holes in shell. Bake 13 to 15 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 350u00b0F; continue to bake until golden brown and crisp, 13 to 15 minutes longer. Transfer to wire rack; increase oven temperature to 425u00b0F
3
While shell bakes, place tomato slices in single layer on double layer paper towels and sprinkle evenly with 1/2 teaspoon salt; let stand 30 minutes. Place second double layer paper towels on top of tomatoes and press firmly to dry tomatoes. Combine garlic, olive oil, and pinch each salt and pepper in small bowl; set aside.
4
Sprinkle mozzarella evenly over warm (or cool, if made ahead) baked shell. Shingle tomato slices widthwise on top of cheese (about 4 slices per row); brush tomatoes with garlic oil. Bake until shell is deep golden brown and cheese is melted, 15 to 17 minutes. Cool on wire rack 5 minutes, sprinkle with basil, slide onto cutting board or serving platter, cut into pieces, and serve.
