Cherry tomato, bocconcini, and zucchini pie
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 shallot, finely chopped (about 1/4 cup)
- 1 small zucchini (7 1/2 ounces), halved lengthwise and cut crosswise into 1/2-inchthick half-moons
- 1 1/2 pounds cherry tomatoes, plus cherry tomatoes on the vine for garnish
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 ounces bocconcini
- 3 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
- 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
- Cheese Short Crust,  made with Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- 1 large egg yolk
Instructions:
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes.Â
- Add the zucchini; cook, stirring occasionally, until it is light golden and the liquid has been released, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl; set aside.
- Halve one-third of the tomatoes. Stir the halved and whole tomatoes, cheeses, basil, lemon zest, flour, and sugar into the shallot-zucchini mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a 13-inch circle, about 1/4 inch thick. Make 7 3-inchlong cuts around the edge of the dough, evenly spaced. Trim to make 7 rounded flaps. Transfer to a 10-inch pie plate. Drizzle the crust with the remaining tablespoon oil.
- Spread with the filling. Fold in the flaps of crust, slightly overlapping. Put the tomatoes on the vine in the center. Refrigerate until cold, about 20 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375 F. Whisk the cream and egg yolk in a small bowl. Brush the crust with egg wash. Bake the pie on a rimmed baking sheet until the crust is golden brown and the juices are bubbling, about 45 minutes.
