Garlicky tomato tart

6 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 Pie crust
4 Eggs; at room temperature
1 tablespoon Olive oil
4 larges Garlic cloves; minced
4 mediums Tomatoes; peeled and seeded
1 tablespoon Tomato paste
¼ teaspoon Dried thyme
1 tablespoon Fresh basil; chopped
⅔ cup Lowfat 1% milk
¼ pounds Gruyere cheese
¼ cup Parmesan cheese; grated
2 larges Tomatoes; sliced 1/4\" thick

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350#161#F. Brush the bottom of the crust with some of the beaten egg, and prebake the crust for 5 minutes.

Heat the olive oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan or non-stick skillet over low heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds to a minute, until fragrant and beginning to color. Add the chopped tomatoes, tomato paste, and salt and cook over medium-low heat, stirring, until you have a fairly thick paste, about 20 minutes. Stir in the thyme, basil and pepper and adjust the seasonings. Remove from the heat.

Beat together the milk and remaining eggs. Stir in the tomato mixture and cheeses.

Line the bottom of the partially baked piecrust with the sliced tomatoes.

Pour in the tomato mixture. Bake for 45 minutes or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let sit for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.
