Ingredients

  • 1 refrigerated pie crust
  • Olive oil
  • 1/2 cup shredded pecorino Romano cheese, plus more for topping
  • 1 pound multicolored baby tomatoes (red, yellow and orange), cut in half
  • 1 clove garlic, finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon thinly sliced basil leaves
  • Salt and pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Roll the pie crust into a 7 x 10 inch rectangle on a parchment lined baking sheet. Brush the crust with a little olive oil. Top with cheese, leaving a 2 inch border.
  2. Top with the tomatoes, cut sides up.
  3. Sprinkle garlic and sliced basil leaves on top of tomatoes. Drizzle with about 2 teaspoons of oil and season with salt and pepper. Fold crust edges over the outer edge of the tomatoes, pleating if necessary. Brush crust edges with olive oil. Bake until crust is golden and tomatoes are bubbling, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from oven, sprinkle with additional cheese. Let cool 15 minutes. Garnish with basil leaves before serving.
