I love summer tomatoes, fresh tomato sandwiches, and fresh tomato tarts. I bought two tomato plants this year and have gotten several tomatoes from them. I love this recipe. it comes from the Junior League of Jackson, Mississippi's cookbook.
Basic pastry dough
8 oz. mozzarella cheese, shredded
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh basil
4-5 ripe tomatoes, cut into slices
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line 10" tart pan with pastry dough (or use pie shells). Spread bottom of pastry with cheese and sprinkle with basil (may use dried). Cover with tomato slices, arranging to cover as evenly as possible. Sprinkle tomatoes with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil. Bake for 30-40 minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped basil. Slice in wedges and serve at room temperature.

Looks divine! Will have to try this.
A couple of summers ago I ate Tomato Pie for the first time, and I loved it!
