Gail's notes: Made this in Sept. 2006 and we really liked it. I believe I misread the recipe and only used 1 piecrust from the package! Put mine on a round stoneware pan and then put the rest of the ingredients on as called for. I think it did ok with one crust, guess it would have had a thicker one if I had used both. I didn't have fresh basil and used dried and it was ok like that.

Can be served as an appetizer (cut into small pieces I would imagine) or serve it alongside a crisp salad for a light supper (this is what I did and we liked it this way!)
