How to Make Tomato And Sausage Tart

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Brush a 9-inch pie crust with 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard and bake for 5 minutes.
  3. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
  4. Remove 1 pound Italian sausage from its casings and sauté in a small skillet over medium heat, crumbling with a fork, until cooked through (about 8-10 minutes).
  5. Drain the sausage well and let cool completely.
  6. Evenly distribute the cooled sausage over the pastry shell.
  7. Arrange 2 pounds thinly sliced fresh tomatoes over the sausage. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  8. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh basil and 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley over the tomatoes.
  9. In a small bowl, combine 4 ounces of cream cheese, softened, and 2 tablespoons mayonnaise. Mix well until smooth.
  10. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the tomato slices, ensuring it reaches the edges of the crust.
  11. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly and heated through.
  12. Let cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
