Dried basil is more affordable and has a longer shelf life.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grana padano

Grana padano is a less expensive cheese with a similar flavor.

balsamic glaze

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Take the frozen pie crust out of the package and prick it with a fork to prevent it from rising while cooking.

Place the pie crust on a baking sheet as recommended by the package.

Bake the pie crust for 9 to 11 minutes until lightly browned, following the package instructions.

Slice the Roma tomatoes and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess moisture.

Sprinkle salt, black pepper, and dried basil over the sliced tomatoes.

Prepare the filling by combining shredded mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, chopped onion, garlic, and Greek yogurt in a bowl.

Spread the mozzarella cheese evenly on the cooled pie crust.

Add the fresh basil on top of the mozzarella.

Pour the filling mixture over the mozzarella and basil, spreading it evenly.

Check the pie crust to ensure it doesn't burn, using foil to protect the edges if necessary.

Let the tart cool before slicing and serving.
