GREEK PIZZA ON PHYLLO WITH FETA AND TOMATOES
Adapted from a recipe by Joanne Wier, this is an astonishingly wonderful change-of-pace for the pizza heads among us. Rich, but with a distinctly Greek "flava" this beautiful dish will make your evening. Wonderful to serve to company - very pretty, unusual, and TASTY! ADDENDUM: I've tried several great variations on this...using puff pastry instead of phyllo, substituting cream cheese for the mozzarella, adding some cilantro pesto to the cheese combo, and topping with sauteed onions, zucchini, yellow squash, and using chopped GREEN olives instead of black. Scrumptious! Use your imagination and run amok!

With a delicate crust and lots of lovely tomatoes on top, this dish is a special one to serve to guests. I make it often when fresh garden tomatoes are in season. It freezes well unbaked, so I also keep one on hand to pop in the oven for a quick dinner.-Neta Cohen, Bedford, Virginia

Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the best flavor. Roma tomatoes are a good choice, as they are less watery than other varieties.
- Slice the tomatoes thinly so that they cook evenly.
- Use a good quality feta cheese. Look for a cheese that is creamy and crumbly, with a slightly tangy flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pizza. If you put too many toppings on the pizza, it will be difficult to cook evenly.
- Bake the pizza at a high temperature so that the crust gets crispy.
- Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the cheese to set and the flavors to meld.
Conclusion:
This phyllo pizza with fresh tomatoes and feta cheese is a delicious and easy-to-make meal. It's perfect for a quick lunch or dinner, and it's also a great way to use up leftover tomatoes. The crispy phyllo crust, the juicy tomatoes, and the creamy feta cheese all come together to create a flavor combination that is sure to please everyone.
