INGREDIENTS

THE FILLING AND TOPPING:

  • 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 1 small onion, diced small
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1/2 block reduced fat cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 cup whole milk (you can use any fat % you want)
  • 6 ounces grated cheddar, fontina, mozzarella (combination or your choice)
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
  • salt & pepper
  • 4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 1 medium  tomato, diced 1/2 inch cube

INSTRUCTIONS

For the crust: Bring the crust to room temperature and lightly butter a 10-inch metal pie pan. Preheat the oven to 400°. Dust your counter with a little flour and unroll one pie crust. Sprinkle the chopped thyme evenly over the top of crust. Place 2nd pie crust on top of the bottom one. Roll these 2 crust togther to seal and create 1 pie crust that is thicker*. Roll the crust slightly larger than your pan. Lay the crust in the pan and press gently into its edges. Roll over the dough that hands over the edges. *You want a thicker crust to keep the bottom from getting soggy.

Lay foil or parchment paper on top of the crust and weigh that down with dried beans or rice. Blind-bake the shell for 20 minutes. Remove the pie weights and foil or parchment and bake 5 minutes more. Set the cooked crust aside as you prepare the filling. If edges begin to get dark, cover edges with foil.

Make the filling: Toss half of the diced tomatoes with 1⁄2 teaspoon salt and 1⁄2 teaspoon sugar. Set them over a colander to drain while you get everything else ready, at least an hour.

Lower your oven to 375°. In a medium sauté pan or skillet, melt the butter and then add the onion and 1⁄2 teaspoon salt. Cook over medium-low heat until caramelized. This will take about 20-30 minutes.

Toss the other half of the diced tomatoes with 1⁄2 teaspoon salt, thyme, and olive oil. Spread in a single layer on a sheet tray with as much room separating the individual pieces as possible. Slide the tray onto the middle rack of your oven and roast for 30-35 minutes. You’re looking for the tomatoes to dry out and brown slightly.

Once all the individual components are done, stir together the onion, the fresh and roasted diced tomatoes, the remaining salt, sugar, black pepper, and basil.

Make the topping and finish the pie: In a separate, smaller bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, fontina, and Parmigiano. Spoon the tomato filling into your blind-baked crust. Top with the cheese mixture and tomato slices. Bake in the middle of your oven for 30 minutes. You can serve this warm or at room temperature.Related: genesis funeral home shelby, nc obituaries, permanently closed restaurants in michigan, woman eaten by crocodile in australia, protoceratops habitat, kristen pitzen teacher, estimate the heat of combustion for one mole of acetylene, does decaf coffee cause hot flashes, presenta una amiga a mark quizlet, brandon miller real estate developer net worth, north broward preparatory school shooting, stephen warnock daughter, aynsley dunbar interview, colorado speeding ticket fines, paul sullivan actor leave it to beaver, oc son of robert baratheon fanfiction,Related: beth mackey bloodline, project eris wifi, gastroenterologist st george, black summer bushfires timeline, ecclesiastes 3 passion translation, legate rikke talos be with you, mattress by appointment lawsuit, avengers fanfiction peter related to steve, easy finger food for pool party, how to grow vines on vinyl fence, punto blanco en la yema del huevo, jennifer kesse chino suspect, scott thomas bernardsville, new jersey, barrilete candy ingredients, vermont superior court probate division,Related: elevation church controversy, toledo blade obituaries past 30 days, e751 slovenia serve la vignetta, uniqlo ceo email address, flathead ford cylinder heads, willie watkins funeral home obituaries atlanta, ga, chimes restaurant nutritional information, love of thousand years ending explained, michael owen florida, kenny veach found 2020, state challenge cricket nsw 2022, hello i’m nanno in thai language, what type of cancer did rosalind cash have, osmanthus magical properties, atascadero obituaries,
