Tomato Tart - Delish!

Smashed it!  Had to eat up 6 tomatoes and garden tomatoes are the best!  Just smelling them when just picked from the vine takes me to a heavenly place; if you love tomatoes must try this dish.  Had my doubts but kept plugging on; roasted tomatoes in oven for about 20 mins and they were a little soggy...but boy did this deliver - fight for the last piece!


Ingredients
6-7 field tomatoes
olive oil
salt & pepper
1 roll of puff pastry, defrosted
2 containers of buffalo cheese, sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 egg, beaten
fresh basil leaves from the garden

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
slice tomatoes approximately 1/2 each each
place on baking pan
drizzle with olive oil
sprinkle salt and pepper
roast for 20 mins

In the interim,
roll out the pastry dough to rectangular shape (a little thinner than packaged)
place on baking pan
place tomatoes and cheese slices in alternating layers on the pastry
roll up edges to form a crust
brush edges with beaten egg wash
bake for 15 - 20 mins at 350 degrees
remove and top with fresh basil
