Ingredients

• 2/3 c whole wheat flour
• 1/3 c all-purpose flour
• 1/2 c cold butter
• 4-5 Tbsp cold water
• 4 plum tomatoes
• 3 c (12 oz) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided
• 1/2 c fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp pepper

Preparation

Step 1

1. In a large bowl, combine the flours; cut in butter until crumbly. Gradually add water, tossing with a fork until dough forms a ball. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until easy to handle.

2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out pastry to fit a 9" fluted tart pay with a removable bottom. Transfer pastry to pan; trim even with edge. Bake at 350° for 13-15 minutes or until lightly browned. Meanwhile, thinly slice the tomatoes; place on paper towels to drain.

3. Sprinkle 2 cups cheese into the crust; top with basil. Set three tomato slices aside; arrange remaining slices in a slightly overlapping patter around edge of tart. Drizzle with oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sprinkle remaining cheese in center of tart; top with reserved tomato slices.

4. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until crust is crispy and cheese is melted. Let stand for 15 minutes for serving.
