Favorite Pie Crust Recipe

  • 1 recipe Pie Crust (I like using http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/p-p-p-pie_crust_and_its_p-p-p-perfect/)
  • 10 ripe tomatoes (I used about 10 small/medium sized tomatoes, you want enough to fill the half sheet pan)
  • 1-2 tsp kosher salt (for tomatoes)
  • 2 cups labneh
  • 1 whole lemon zested
  • 3 tbsp zaatar blend
  • 6-8 pitted olives
  • 2 sprigs fresh oregano (optional)
  • fresh pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
  2. Using a half sheet pan, roll out your pie dough to fit into a thin crust, press sides up to create an edge. Place in fridge to remain cold while you prepare the rest of your ingredients.
  3. Slice your tomatoes about 1/4" thick, lay on another empty sheet pan and sprinkle with salt to remove excess moisture. Let sit for about 10 minutes.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine your lebneh, lemon zest and a few grinds of pepper.
  5. Remove your pie dough from the fridge and spread your lebneh mixture onto the prepared crust. Sprinkle the top of the lebneh with about 2 tablespoons of your zaatar mixture, making sure to cover the entire pie.
  6. Pat your tomato slices dry with some paper towels and being laying them on top of your lebneh mixture in any arrangement you find appealing. I liked layering slightly and using 2 different colored tomatoes gave it a pop!
  7. Finally, sprinkle the top of the tomatoes with the last tablespoon of zaatar, a few grinds of pepper and several pitted green olives.
  8. Bake for 30-45 minutes rotating the tray from top to bottom halfway through, cover edges if they are browning too quickly.
  9. Remove, sprinkle fresh oregano, let cool slightly. Slice and enjoy!
