Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold)
- 1 cup Gruyere cheese (shredded)
- 0.75 cups Heavy cream
- 1 large Egg (beaten)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced yellow onion and cook, stirring frequently, until softened and golden, about 10-12 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic, granulated sugar, fresh thyme, 1 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional minute until aromatic.
Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes just start to burst. Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the tomato mixture into a 9-inch baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and the remaining 0.5 teaspoons of salt.
Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the shredded Gruyere cheese.
Pour the heavy cream into the bowl and gently mix until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Using a spoon or your hands, drop the dough in small mounds over the tomato mixture in the baking dish, leaving some gaps for steam to escape.
Brush the tops of the dough with the beaten egg for a golden crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the tomato filling is bubbling.
Let the cobbler rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
