Got Tomatoes?

Does your tomato garden runneth over?

If so, may I boldly suggest:

Simple and Light Tomato and Cheese Thing

Thinly slice tomatoes and place them between two paper towels
 for about twenty minutes to absorb moisture.
Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and place 3-4 sheets of  
defrosted frozen phyllo dough on top of parchment paper.

Spread a very thin layer of olive oil mayo on top of phyllo dough.

Sprinkle a thin layer of two different types of cheeses (shredded).
(I used mozzarella and cheddar)

Place tomatoes on top of cheese.

Sprinkle a little kosher salt or sea salt and ground pepper on top of tomatoes.

Spinkle Parmesan cheese on top of tomatoes.

Chiffonade fresh basil and scatter on top.

Bake 400 degrees (F) for 20 minutes and enjoy!
 Makes a great snack or accompaniment to soup...

How about with Caprese Soup from this post?
Mmmmmmm....fresh garden tomatoes.
So good!

    I love the sound and look of your phyllo pastry tomato and cheese tart! It makes me feel quite hungry as it's getting near breakfast time for me! I never understood the difference between kosher salt and regular salt. Is there a difference? Have a wonderful new week!

    Drop by next summer, and we will try your recipe. When we left southwest Louisiana last Monday, our tomato plants were still blooming but no longer setting fruit. Summer is about over in the South. And summer said goodbye in The Netherlands yesterday afternoon. Maybe I should try the soup recipe ;) Linda@Wetcreek Blog

    Thank you for all the comments! Yes, we still have tomatoes and basil, but tonight it may freeze so it's over, except for the greens ones we pull in today. We fortunately had a long season this year!

    The kosher salt I use is coarse and I have really liked it in baking...especially in cookies and sprinkled on fudge. I'm not sure what the difference is, but I prefer it. :-)
