This is so simple and so scrumptious! A rustic tomato tart-like masterpiece! No meat, just ripe tomatoes that become almost caramelized because we draw out lots of the moisture. The dough can store bought, so it comes together in a jiffy. Just sprinkle Gouda chesse over the dough, arrange the tomatoes and garlic and bake! Rustic and elegant at the same time!
Ingredients
  • 1 refrigerated pizza crust
  • 1½ lbs of ripe, sliced tomatoes
  • 4 garlic cloves, sliced
  • 1 tsp of kosher salt
  • 4 oz of Gouda cheese, grated
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • kosher salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • chopped chives - optional
Instructions
  1. Start by placing the tomatoes single layer on a baking sheet or large pan, sprinkle with salt and ½ of the sliced garlic, then let rest for 15-20 minutes.
  2. Now drain and place the tomatos on paper towels, pat dry, then preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  3. Flour your surface and the rolling pin and roll the dough out to a 14" round as thin as you can.
  4. Transfer the dough to a large baking sheet or pizza pan lined with parchment.
  5. Now scatter the cheese over the dough leaving a 1½" border. Arrange the tomatoes and garlic over the cheese. Fold the edges of the dough up and over the filling about 2 inches, overlapping along the way.
  6. Brush the dough with the beaten egg.
  7. Sprinkle the tomatoes with a little bit more salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  8. Chill in the freezer for 10 minutes.
  9. Bake for 55 - 65 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet for 6 - 8 minutes, sprinkle with chives, slice, serve and enjoy!
Notes
Place your Gouda in the freezer for about 10 minutes for easier grating.
