Veggie Tales: Tomato x Mozzarella Tart


I am so excited about this dish! This was my first time making a tart, but it turned out great! I got the idea from Elsie & Emma's blog A Beautiful Mess, which I absolutely love! It's definitely one of my favorite blogs. My tart is a little different from theirs, but that's always okay, it gives a unique touch to it.

What I Used:
- 1 puff pastry sheet
- 1 tomato, thinly sliced
- pesto, enough to cover the entire sheet
- mozzarella, about 9 slices
- olive oil
- salt & pepper

I laid out the puff pastry sheet, spread the pesto and tomatoes on, and then filled in the empty spaces with mozzarella. I love mozzarella, it's my absolute favorite, so I used a lot. You can use more or less depending on how cheesy you want your tart. Then I drizzled a little bit of olive oil over top and topped it all off with a bit of salt and pepper (season to your tastes). I baked it in the oven at 375 degrees for about 20 minutes.


I wasn't really sure what to expect because I had never tried anything like this before. Also, I'm not very fond of tomatoes either so I was a bit nervous about that. Thankfully, it turned out great! I loved it, tomatoes and all! I don't know if it was the pesto, or the olive oil, or what but the tomatoes were extremely yummy. I will definitely be making this again.

If you decide to try this, let me know how it turns out!

Love,

Simply Breakfast

Today is a laundry and cleaning kind of day so I wanted to have a simple, peaceful morning meal. Something that is quick but pleasant to my taste buds. So I whipped out a breakfast staple: eggs!

I love eggs! Full of protein and only take a few minutes to make. I eat my eggs scrambled always.

What I Used:
2 large eggs
1/8 cup milk
1 green onion
Lawry's seasoned salt
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese


I put the eggs in tortillas and made a sort of burrito-type dish. For dessert, yes with breakfast, I opted for classic glazed doughnuts.


Everything was delish! I will definitely be making those eggs again. Happy Saturday!

Love, Rita Lynn
