This one is a favorite in my extended family.  It can be served in small slices or larger slices as a side dish.  Very good!
  Basil-Tomato Tart
  1/2 of a 15-oz. pkg folded refrigerated unbaked piecrust (1 crust) 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (6 oz.) 5 Roma or 4 medium tomatoes (we use Roma- less seeds) 1 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves  4 cloves garlic 1/2 cup mayonnaise  1/4 cup grated Parmesean cheese 1/8 tsp. ground white pepper  Fresh basil leaves (optional (for garnish))   Place pie crust in a 9-inch tart pan or glass pie plate.  Flute edge. Pre-bake according to package directions.  Remove from oven and sprinkle with 1/2 cup of the mozzarella cheese.  Cool on wire rack.
  Cut tomatoes into thin wedges; drain on paper towels. I season with salt and pepper.  Arrange tomato wedges atop melted cheese in the baked pie shell.  In a food processor combine basil and garlic; cover and process till coarsely chopped. Sprinkle over tomatoes.
  In a medium mixing bowl combine remaining mozzarella cheese, mayonnaise, Parmesean cheese, and pepper.  Spoon cheese mixture over basil mixture, spreading to evenly cover the top.   Bake in a 375 oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until top is golden and bubbly.  Serve warm (or at room temperature).  If desired, sprinkle with basil leaves.  Makes 8 appetizer (side dish) or 4 main-dish servings.
