Ingredients
  

The Crust

  • 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • kosher salt
  • 6 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter diced in 1/2 inch cubes
  • 1 egg yolk (extra large) cold
  • 1/4 cup ice water

The Filling

  • 4-5 medium tomatoes cored and sliced 1/4 inches thick
  • 1/2 cup whole, fresh flat parsley leaves
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves coarsely chopped
  • 1-2 cloves garlic
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cups good olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup Gruyère cheese grated
  • 1/4 cup Parmigiano Reggiano freshly grated

Instructions
 

  • Place the flour, salt and butter into a food processor and pulse until in small pea-size.
  • With the motor running, add the egg yolk and then add the water until the dough begins to combine. Place the dough onto a cutting board and roll into a ball, then flatten into a round disc shape. Wrap in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper in preparation for the crust.
  • While the dough is chilling, slice the tomatoes and place in a medium size bowl.

  • Make the dressing for the tomatoes: combine the parsley, basil, garlic, thyme, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper in a food processor until minced. While the motor is running, pour the olive oil into the mixture until combined. Pour the mixture over the tomatoes.

  • Trim the rolled out dough so that it resembles a square, but don't be afraid to leave it looking rustic.

  • Place a second sheet pan on top of the rolled out dough and place in the oven for 15 minutes. Then, remove the second pan, poke the dough with a fork and return to the oven for 8-10 minutes. Remove from the oven when golden brown. Let cool for 15 minutes.
