Yield Makes 6 light-lunch or brunch servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 3/4 teaspoons salt
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes, plus 2 teaspoons melted
3/4 cup whole milk
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 3/4 lb beefsteak tomatoes, peeled (see cooks' note for mountain jam ) and sliced crosswise 1/4 inch thick
1 1/2 cups corn (from about 3 ears), coarsely puréed in a food processor
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
7 oz coarsely grated sharp Cheddar (1 3/4 cups)

Steps:

  • Whisk together flour, baking powder, and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a bowl, then blend in 3/4 stick cold butter with your fingertips or a pastry blender until it resembles coarse meal. Add milk, stirring until mixture just forms a dough, then gather into a ball.
  • Divide dough in half and roll out 1 piece between sheets of plastic wrap into a 12-inch round (1/8 inch thick). Remove top sheet of plastic wrap, then lift dough using bottom sheet of plastic wrap and invert into a 9-inch glass pie plate, patting with your fingers to fit (there will be just enough dough to line plate without an overhang). Discard plastic wrap.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Whisk together mayonnaise and lemon juice. Arrange half of tomatoes in crust, overlapping, and sprinkle with half of corn, 1 tablespoon basil, 1/2 tablespoon chives, 1/8 teaspoon pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Repeat layering with remaining tomatoes, corn, basil, chives, pepper, and salt, then sprinkle with 1 cup cheese. Pour lemon mayonnaise over filling and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
  • Roll out remaining piece of dough into a 12-inch round in same manner, then fit over filling, folding overhang under edge of bottom crust and pinching edge to seal. Cut 4 steam vents in top crust and brush crust with 2 teaspoons melted butter.
  • Bake pie in middle of oven until crust is golden and filling is bubbling, 30 to 35 minutes, then cool on a rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

I made this recipe in a muffin tin instead of a pie plate. It worked perfectly and made it easy to serve individual portions.

I'm a vegetarian, so I substituted the bacon for mushrooms. It turned out great! The mushrooms added a nice earthy flavor to the dish.
