Recipes Tomato-Basil Tart 4.6 (5) 4 Reviews 3 Photos This vegetarian tomato and basil tart is one of my classics - I often make it for lunch. I use Trader Joe's® Shredded 3-Cheese Blend (mozzarella, Monterey Jack, and Cheddar cheeses), but any cheese mix or just a single shredded cheese works fine.

Shape into a ball, flatten, and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 2 hours. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a springform pan with butter. Sprinkle a work surface with flour and roll out dough into a circle big enough to cover bottom and sides of the prepared springform pan. Line pan with the dough. Prick dough several times with a fork. Bake pastry in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, stir together remaining eggs, cream cheese, and sour cream using a wooden spoon. Fold in Italian cheese blend and season with salt and pepper. Fold in basil. Remove cooked pastry from oven and cover with 1 layer of tomato slices. Pour half the egg-cheese mixture on top and cover with another layer of tomato slices. Spread remaining egg-cheese mixture on top and cover with a final layer of tomato slices. Bake in the preheated until tart is set, about 45 minutes. Serve warm.
