This tart is a little bit of a fat bomb but you can counter that fact by eating it with a very big salad :D, right?

I rarely describe a recipe I've created as heavenly but this one fits that title. You have the light and crispy Phyllo dough mixed with the creamy white center. Then the tangy flavor of the basil and tomato hits your taste buds. So good!
