Tomato-Corn Pie

From Eat Healthy Your Way: Spring 2011

Sliced ripe tomatoes and fresh corn (a winning combo) float in a cheesy, yet light egg custard to create a delicious quiche-like pie. The easy-to-make whole-wheat crust is versatile and would be great for any savory pie.

Ingredients

Crust

  • 3⁄4 cup whole-wheat pastry flour
  • 3⁄4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 1⁄3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 5 tablespoons cold water

Filling

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup low-fat milk
  • 1⁄2 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, divided
  • 2 medium tomatoes, sliced
  • 1 cup fresh corn kernels or frozen
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1⁄4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Preparation

  1. To prepare crust: Combine whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour and 1⁄2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a large bowl. Make a well in the center, add oil and water and gradually stir them in to form a soft dough. Wrap the dough in plastic and chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  3. Roll the dough into a 12-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Transfer to a 9-inch pie pan, preferably deep-dish, and press into the bottom and up the sides. Trim any overhanging crust. Line the dough with a piece of foil or parchment paper large enough to lift out easily; fill evenly with pie weights or dry beans. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil (or paper) and weights. Let cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes or up to 1 hour.
  4. To prepare filling: Whisk eggs and milk in a medium bowl. Sprinkle half the cheese over the crust, then layer half the tomatoes evenly over the cheese. Sprinkle with corn, thyme, 1⁄4 teaspoon each salt and pepper and the remaining cheese. Layer the remaining tomatoes on top and sprinkle with the remaining 1⁄4 teaspoon salt. Pour the egg mixture over the top.
  5. Bake the pie until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. Let cool for 20 minutes before serving.

Tips & Notes

  • Make Ahead Tip: Prepare the crust (Step 1), wrap tightly and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 6 months. Cover and refrigerate the baked pie for up to 1 day.
  • Equipment: 9-inch pie pan, preferably deep-dish
