This is not just a tomato pie. Here, cherry tomatoes, Adyghe cheese, thyme leaves and fried onions are poured with a creamy egg filling right into a crispy shortcrust pastry base. To prevent the pie crust from getting soggy, you first need to bake only the dough: 5-7 minutes in the oven will be enough. Serve the finished pie hot or cold.

GETTING READY
-
Prep Like a Pro
Take the butter out of the fridge in advance so that it becomes soft. Sift the flour. Wash the tomatoes and the white part of the leek.
STEP 1
-
Making the Dough
Mix butter, 1 chicken egg, flour, a pinch of salt and baking powder until smooth. Knead a thick, smooth dough. Put it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Add more flour if necessary if the mixture becomes too runny.

Leeks, Cherry Tomatoes, and Adyghe Cheese
Chop the leek into thin half rings. Cut each cherry tomato in half. Cut the Adyghe cheese into small cubes.

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Roll out the dough into a thin layer. Place it in a baking dish, forming the sides. Put it in the oven for 5-7 minutes.
