Tomato and Basil Tart

Description:
Serves 4-6

Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt plus more, to taste
10 tbs. (1 1/4 sticks) chilled unsalted butter, diced
2 tbs ice water
1/3 cup plus 1 tbs extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
freshly ground pepper, to taste
8 plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise and seeded
8 oz. goat cheese (chevre), crumbled
1/2 cup slivered fresh basil leaves

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400. Position rack in lower third of oven.
Using an electric mixer with a flat beater, mix flour and 1/2 tsp salt on low speed, 15 sec. Add butter; mix to form pea-size crumbs, 30-40 sec. Add water 1 tbs. at a time; mix just until dough comes together.
Turn out onto lightly floured surface. Shape into a 5 inch disk. Wrap tightly; refrigerate at least 1 hour.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to fit a 13 3/4 x 4 1/4 inch tart pan or round quiche pan. Press dough into pan, trim to ˝ inch around rim and fold in overhang. Press to make sides thicker than bottom; refrigerate 10 minutes.
In a non-stick sauté pan over medium heat, warm 1/3 cup of oil. Add garlic; sauté until fragrant, 1 minute. Add salt, pepper, and tomatoes, sliced side down; sauté until golden brown, 4-5 minutes.
Brush pastry with 1 tbs oil; top with cheese, basil, and tomatoes, sliced side up. Drizzle with pan juices; season with salt and pepper.
Bake until crust is golden, about 1 hour.
