Cook Time: 1 hrPrep Time: 45 min
Yield: 6 servings 

Ingredients:
1 1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt plus more to taste
10 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter, diced
2 tablespoons ice water
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves thinly sliced
fresh ground pepper to taste
8 plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise and seeded
8 oz. goat cheese, crumbled
1/2 cup slivered fresh basil

Instructions:
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Position rack in lower third of oven

Using an electric mixer with a flat beater, mix flour and ½ tsp salt on low speed, 15 sec. Add butter; mix to form pea-size crumbs, 30-40 sec. Add water 1 tbs. at a time; mix just until dough comes together.

Turn out onto lightly floured surface. Shape into a 5 inch disk. Wrap tightly; refrigerate at least 1 hour.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to fit a 13¾ x 4¼ inch tart pan or round quiche pan. Press dough into pan, trim to ½ inch around rim and fold in overhang. Press to make sides thicker than bottom; refrigerate 10 minutes.

In a non-stick sauté pan over medium heat, warm 1/3 cup of oil. Add garlic; sauté until fragrant, 1 minute. Add salt, pepper, and tomatoes, sliced side down; sauté until golden brown, 4-5 minutes.

Brush pastry with 1 tbs oil; top with cheese, basil, and tomatoes, sliced side up. Drizzle with pan juices; season with salt and pepper.

Bake until crust is golden, about 1 hour.

Roll dough and cut using a 2 inch round cutter. Press rounds into mini muffin tin and brush with olive oil. Place 1 or 2 slivers of sauteed garlic on dough, then 1 tablespoon goat cheese and basil leaves. Place one half cherry tomato on top. Bake for 35-45 minutes. Cool in pan for 5 - 10 mintues before removing from tin.
