Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out pie crust on a floured surface and transfer to a 9-inch tart pan. Trim edges and prick bottom with a fork. Bake for 10 minutes until golden, then set aside.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup diced onion and cook for 5 minutes until translucent and softened, stirring occasionally.
  3. Step 3: Add 3 minced garlic cloves to the skillet and cook for 60 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly to prevent browning.
  4. Step 4: Spread onion mixture evenly over the pre-baked crust. Arrange 2 cups sliced heirloom tomatoes in a single layer over the onions. Sprinkle with 1 tbsp chopped rosemary, 1/4 tsp dried thyme, and salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Step 5: Bake for 25-30 minutes until tomatoes are tender and crust is golden. Top with 4 oz crumbled goat cheese and 1/4 cup torn basil. Rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
