An Impromptu party is one thing which inspires me to try out new inventions. We were getting ready to host such this evening, so while looking at what was already in my cupboards I remembered a recipe I saw while traveling and opted to attempt to recreate it with what was in my house....
Tomato Tart
12-14 sheets Phylo Dough
6 oz spreadable Cheese
1 bunch Basil chopped
3 ripe Tomatoes thinly sliced
3 oz shredded Parmesan
Olive Oil to drizzle
Dash of Salt & Pepper on top
Layer the phylo dough with cheese - 2 sheets, cover with cheese, 2 sheets, cheese repeat....
Spread a thin layer of cheese over the top sheet
Cover with thinly sliced tomatoes, chopped basil and Parmesan
Drizzle with olive oil salt and pepper and bake at 425 for 15 min
Slice when cooled and serve
Spreadable Cheese - Vermont Cheddar Cheese Spread, Laughing Cow Cheese, Goat Cheese, etc.
You can also trade out the phylo dough for puffed pastry - just fork the pastry, spread the cheese on top and away you go.....
I used the spreadable Vermont cheddar for this evening's recipe.
So how did this recipe which I just created, made and am attempting to try out on my friends at this evenings impromptu get together? What where the reviews? I hope they will comment on this post.... as they are about to arrive...Wish me luck!
It was delicious. Only thing which would have made it better, a sprinkling of sea salt. Enjoy!
