Tomato-Basil Tart Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Tomato-Basil Tart Recipe). This vegetarian tomato and basil tart is one of my classics - I often make it for lunch. I use Trader Joe's® Shredded 3-Cheese Blend (mozzarella, Monterey Jack, and Cheddar cheeses), but any cheese mix or just a single shredded cheese works fine.
