Ingredients
- 1 box pie crust or 1 recipe homemade pie crusts, roll-out type
- 4 ounces goat cheese softened, chevre
- 2 tablespoons scallions chopped
- 2 teaspoons thyme divided, fresh
- 2 teaspoons dill divided, fresh
- 1 ¼ pounds tomato 3-4, heirloom
- 1 large egg
- salt
- black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lay out a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Using two boxed roll out piecrusts, lay one pie crust on top of the other. Roll the crusts together into a large 14 inch circle. (If using our homemade pie crust recipe used the entire batch of dough.)
- Spread the goat cheese in an even layer over the pie crust leaving a 2 inch rim around the edge.
- Slice the heirloom tomatoes into rounds, 1/4 inch thick. Lay them out on paper towels to absorb some of the moisture.
- Sprinkle the goat cheese with 2 tablespoons of scallions, 1 teaspoon of thyme, and 1 teaspoon of dill. Lay the heirloom tomatoes over the goat cheese circle overlapping if needed.
- Fold the edge of the pie crust up and over the tomatoes creating a 1 1/2 to 2 inch crimped edge around the top. Fold the crust over itself every 1 1/2 to 2 inches in a pretty pattern. (See the photos for clarity.)
- Crack the egg into a small bowl and whisk well. Brush the egg over the edge of the crust. Then sprinkle the top of the pie with salt and pepper.
- Bake for 30 minutes, then check the piecrust. If it’s turning dark cover loosely with foil. Then continue to bake another 5 to 10 minutes. Sprinkle the top with the remaining fresh thyme and dill. Then cut and serve.

Notes
- A homemade savory crostata will keep well for up to 2 or 3 days in the refrigerator. But note that the longer it sits, the softer the tomatoes and pie crust will become.
