Description Savory Italian Tart Pie Prep time 10 mins Cook time 25 mins Total time 35 mins This quiche-like Savory Italian Tart is filled with Italian sausage, tomatoes, eggs and cheese, all on top of a puff pastry crust. Perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner! Serves: 4-6 servings Ingredients 1 package (8 oz.) refrigerated puff pastry dough 1 lb Italian sausage links, casings discarded 2 large tomatoes, diced 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil 1 clove garlic, minced 2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese 3 tablespoons milk 2 eggs ½ cup heavy cream ½ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon black pepper Instructions Preheat the oven to 425ºF. Roll puff pastry on floured surface into a circle approximately 13 inches wide. Press dough into an 11-inch tart pan. Place a piece of foil sprayed with nonstick cooking spray over the dough and fill with dried beans or pie beads. Bake 8-10 minutes or until golden. Meanwhile, cook sausage in a large skillet over moderately high heat, breaking it up as it cooks, until the sausage is no longer pink, about 7 minutes. Drain well. Transfer sausage to large bowl and add the tomatoes, garlic, basil, pepper, salt and cheese. In separate bowl, whisk the eggs, cream and milk together. Combine both mixtures; mix well. Pour into the baked shell and bake an additional 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350ºF. Bake an additional 10-12 minutes or until egg mixture is set and golden. Remove from oven; cool 5-10 minutes before cutting.
