Caprese Tart

As easy as an Insalata Caprese (The Salad from Capri) (Caprese Salad) and much better than ordering a pizza.  (I have never made pizza dough and there is no place around my neighborhood that sells it.)  Make this fast and fresh tart for a quick lunch or a simple dinner.  For me nothing can go wrong with tomatoes, mozzarella and fresh basil, it is always a success.
