How do you chiffonade basil?
The key to our fresh tomato basil tart recipe is that fresh basil. You chiffonade the basil (see post how to chiffonade basil) before scattering the thin strands atop the cheese. Sprinkle some Parmesan across the tart to finish off this savory treat. Next pop the tart in the oven.
Finish with more basil
Just add a few more basil strands when it comes out of the oven and you’re ready to go. Your guests will "oooh" and "ahhh!" It's pretty, and the taste is divine. Only you will know how easy it was to create. Try it for your next brunch, or when you need to bring an appetizer to a party or BBQ. You're gonna love it!
Enjoy!
