You say "tomato," I say "tomat-Ohhh so delicious!" The fresh ingredients just make this dish. The aroma (from sauteeing the fresh basil and garlic) had my "little grasshoppers" salivating impatiently for lunch! It was great. My only regret was that I didn't have enough fresh basil. Next time, I'll be sure to have extra on hand. Thank you, Marie!

I loved this recipe. I probably should only give it a 4 though because my husband wasn't wild about it, but it was probably because of some changes I made. I chopped the tomato up and I think that made the crust a bit watery, and because I didn't use crescent rolls (I used individual flatbreads), I didn't think I needed to crisp it up ahead of time. Probably wouldn't have it if I hadn't chopped the tomato so fine, though. Overall, though, the flavour was excellent - I may add just a touch of salt next time and possibly increase the basil, tomato, garlic mixture. I also needed to cook it another 10 minutes, but that is also because of the soupy tomatoes - the crust was a big soggy. I will definitely make this again
