Filo Tomato Tart


This recipe is from ''Sunset Magazine''. Tasty! I use
the fresh mozzarella (the kind packed in water). I think that
makes it extra good. Megan Bradley

7 sheets filo dough, thawed
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
7 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese, divided
1 cup very thinly sliced onion
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
8 Roma tomatoes, cut into 1/8-in.-thick slices
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
Salt
freshly ground black pepper


Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°. Line a large cookie sheet
with
parchment paper and spray paper with cooking-oil
spray (or
brush lightly with vegetable oil). Lay 1 sheet filo on
paper and
brush lightly with a little melted butter. Sprinkle all
over with 1
tbsp. parmesan. Repeat layering 5 more times (with
filo,
butter, and parmesan), pressing each sheet firmly
so it sticks
to sheet below. Lay the last filo sheet on top, brush
with
remaining melted butter, and sprinkle on remaining 1
tbsp.
parmesan.
2. Scatter onion across filo, top with mozzarella,
and arrange
tomato slices in a single layer, overlapping slightly.
Sprinkle
with thyme and salt and pepper to taste.
3. Bake until filo is golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes.
Cool 10
minutes, then serve.


Note: Cut tomatoes very thin so juice evaporates
while
baking, or dough will be soggy
