How to Make Zurie's Tomato And Cream Cheese Tart

  1. Preheat oven to 420°F (210°C).
  2. Roll out pastry (approximately 10 inches x 14 inches) and line a small rectangular baking dish (approximately 8x10 inches). Trim and crimp the edges.
  3. Optional: Brush the pastry with a beaten egg for a golden brown finish.
  4. Refrigerate the pastry-lined dish while you prepare the filling.
  5. In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, eggs, milk, grated Parmesan cheese (1/4 cup), dried basil (1 teaspoon), salt, and pepper. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  6. Remove the pastry-lined dish from the refrigerator and spoon the cream cheese mixture evenly into the crust.
  7. Arrange the small plum tomatoes (approximately 1 pint) neatly on top of the cream cheese mixture.
  8. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of sugar over the tomatoes.
  9. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the tomatoes are slightly blistered and the cream cheese filling is puffed and lightly golden.
  10. Let the tart cool slightly before serving. The filling will settle as it cools.
  11. Serve warm as a delightful side dish, perfect alongside fried chicken or a simple salad.
