Ganfer® country-style tomato pie

Ingredients:

Crust:

  • 1 ½ cups spelt flour
  • 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon sugar
  • ¼ – ½ cup cold water

Filling:

  • 10-15 Ganfer® brown little sweet tomatoes
  • 10-15 Ganfer® orange little sweet tomatoes
  • 6 eggs
  • ½ cup yogurt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup chopped basil
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Grated parmesan cheese

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 425 °F
  2. In a food processor combine flour, salt and sugar. Add butter and mix until it is thoroughly incorporated. During this process, pour 1/4 cup of ice water. Gradually add teaspoons of water, one by one, but no more than 1/4 cups until the dough becomes a uniform mass. Then, wrap in a plastic bag and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, whisk eggs, yogurt, salt, pepper and basil together. Slice the tomatoes in half and set aside.
  4. Once dough is chilled, use a rolling pin to spread dough onto a well-floured surface. Transfer to pie pan and press gently into pan, pressing harder on the edges and the rims. Use the rolling pin to flatten the dough into a smooth surface.
  5. Place parchment paper over the crust and fill with natural pie weights, like dry rice or beans. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then take out of the oven and remove parchment paper and weights.
  6. Distribute the lower layer of tomatoes in the pie shell and cover with egg mixture.
  7. Top with a second layer of tomatoes, and fresh black pepper.
  8. Reduce heat to 350°F and bake between 20-30 minutes or until center is set. It’s always best to cook it a bit longer than the usual time.
  9. Finally, sprinkle with parmesan cheese.

Serve right away, while still warm enough to enjoy
with your whole family!
