Eggplant Tomato And Smoked Mozzarella Tart Recipes

EGGPLANT, TOMATO, AND SMOKED MOZZARELLA TART

Eggplant, Tomato, and Smoked Mozzarella Tart image

Adapted from Cooking Light. The crust has a crispy texture like a thin-crust pizza, and it was soo delicous that it reminded me of my trip to Italy, where the tomatoes tasted so fresh. My husband and I demolished the dish in one meal because it was that good! Every ingredient is low-fat, but very flavorful. I also enjoy this dish because it's beautiful to serve if you have company. This meal is one of my new favorites! Note: If you can't find smoked mozzarella (like us), add a few dashes of liquid smoke to the mozzarella, to taste. Works like a charm!
