Wonderful recipe using tomatoes. I made this last night and everyone wanted to know when I was going to make it again. It is crossed between a tart and pizza. My younger son really liked it because he is a vegetarian. But you don't have to be a vegetarian to enjoy this. The red pepper flakes and seasonings really made this recipe pop.

How To Make rustic tomato tart

    Slice tomatoes and cover the entire bottom of crust. (if you want to make extra layer you can). Scatter your garlic and salt on top of tomatoes and 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
  • 5
    Sprinkle your dried herbs combined together on top and your pepper flakes evenly distributed. If you want more of a hot taste add more pepper flakes.
  • 6
    Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese on top and sprinkle parsley on top for color.
