Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 125 grams Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons Cold water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 medium (sliced thinly) Yellow onions
- 4 medium (thinly sliced) Ripe tomatoes
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 1 tablespoon (chopped) Fresh thyme
- 50 grams (grated) Parmesan cheese
- 1 large (beaten) Egg
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Additional salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Add the chilled, cubed butter and use your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
While the dough chills, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and sauté until soft and caramelized, about 15 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic, thyme, black pepper, and additional salt. Cook for 2 more minutes and remove from heat.
Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface and press it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges.
Spread the caramelized onion mixture evenly over the base of the pie crust.
Layer the sliced tomatoes over the onions, slightly overlapping the slices. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top.
Brush the edges of the pie crust with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the tomatoes are slightly roasted.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
