Ingredients
Scale
- Your favorite pie crust recipe, enough for 1 pie
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ tsp salt
- 3 cups, about one container of mini fresh tomatoes
- 1/2 cup corn
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon thyme
- Handful of fresh basil
- ½ tsp black pepper or red pepper flakes
- ¼ cup cheddar
- ¼ cup parmesan
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon mayo
- 1 egg, beaten
Instructions
- Place the thinly sliced onions in a pan with 1 tbs oil over low heat and stir every so often until soft and translucent, about 10 minutes or according to your preference. Transfer to a bowl.
- Add the second tablespoon of olive oil, tomatoes, salt, and pepper (or red chili flakes if using) to the same pan, with the dried thyme.
- Place over high heat and cover with a lid.
- Roll the tomatoes around from time to time so they cook evenly, you’ll hear them burst and pop in a few minutes.
- When most are soft/burst, remove lid, place heat on medium and add in corn and onions.
- Adjust seasonings according to taste.
- Let mixture cool to lukewarm before assembling.
- Heat oven to 400 degrees and roll the dough out into a 12-inch round—doesn’t need to be perfectly shaped.
- Transfer to a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Use a brush to spread the mayo and the Dijon mustard all over the bottom of the crust.
- Arrange the cheddar on top of the crust.
- Sprinkle the tomato mixture with the parmesan and spoon the mixture into the center of the dough, on top of the cheddar, leaving a 2-inch border.
- Fold the border over the filling, pleating the edge to make it fit.
- The center should remain open and you can save some cheese to sprinkle on top if you like.
- Brush the crust with egg yolk glaze and sprinkle with more cheese if you like.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes, then glide onto a serving plate.
- Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.
