  • 0.3 cup green onions thinly sliced

  • cups plum tomatoes thinly sliced
  • 0.3 teaspoon salt 

Equipment

  • bowl
  • baking sheet
  • paper towels
  • oven

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 37
  2. Combine first 6 ingredients in a bowl.
  3. Cut phyllo sheets in half crosswise. Working with 1 phyllo sheet half at a time (cover remaining dough to keep from drying), place phyllo sheet on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Coat phyllo sheet with cooking spray. Repeat with 2 more layers of phyllo.
  4. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons cheese mixture. Repeat layers 5 times, ending with 2 phyllo sheets. Coat top phyllo sheet with cooking spray; sprinkle with 2 tablespoons cheese mixture. Pat tomato slices with a paper towel. Arrange tomato slices on top of cheese, leaving a 1-inch border.
  5. Sprinkle with onions and the remaining 6 tablespoons cheese mixture.
  6. Bake at 375 for 20 minutes or until golden.
  7. Sprinkle with basil leaves.
  8. Wine note: A good wine for this dish won't overwhelm the delicate phyllo but will stand up to the salty cheeses and fresh basil. A favorite that fills the bill: Veramonte Sauvignon Blanc Reserva from the Casablanca Valley of Chile. The 2008 is $ Karen MacNeil
