So…. Pizza? s/

It was a pie crust, little different from a pizza. But we also call pizza “pie” lol. Same thing

Looks like a tart, a pie has a lid.

That is what I was calling it but I got flack for that too lmfao

How you do it

Ah, can't win sometimes! Looks tasty either way.

This is one of my favorite kinds of pies! I usually make them with pâte feuilletée, though--your pâte brisée looks awesome!

Lay pie crust down in tart dish (you can buy it or make your own) Even it out and press to the sides with a fork Brush with melted unsalted butter combined with some garlic powder.

Sprinkle freshly grated Romano cheese Sprinkle freshly grated low moisture mozzarella

Cut a tomato super thin. Soak out as much moisture as possible using a cheese cloth or paper towel.

Lay the tomato over the top of the cheese. Brush with a little more of the butter and a drizzle of olive oil. Salt and pepper generously. Bake according to the pie crust recipe. And broil the top. Cool for a bit and top with more grated Romano, red pepper, and fresh basil.

Definitely want to try with puff pastry next time! Sounds delicious!

You have to dock it, and it helps to par-bake it, but I love the results. The cheese makes a barrier so the tomatoes don't make the pastry soggy. I've also used a layer of creme fraiche as a barrier.

That is such a beautiful and inviting dish. Nice work!

Yes I put the cheese first here too for that reason it definitely makes a difference

Thank you! ☺️

A Pizza by any other name
