Ingredients:

  • 1 ¼ cups (155g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp (3g) fine sea salt
  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3-4 tbsp (30-60ml) ice water
  • 4 oz (113g) goat cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) heavy cream
  • 1 tsp (5g) fresh thyme leaves
  • ½ tsp (2g) cracked black pepper
  • 1.5 lbs (680g) heirloom tomatoes, sliced ¼ inch thick
  • 1 tsp (5g) kosher salt
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp (8g) honey
  • ¼ cup (25g) grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions:

  1. Arrange sliced tomatoes on paper towels and sprinkle with kosher salt. Let sit for 20 minutes, then pat the tops dry.
  2. Pulse flour and salt in a food processor; add cold butter until pea-sized crumbs form. Slowly add ice water until the dough just holds together. Wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk the softened goat cheese, cream, thyme, and pepper until velvety.
  4. On parchment paper, roll the chilled dough into a rough 12-inch circle.
  5. Spread the goat cheese mixture in the center, leaving a 2-inch rim of dough clear.
  6. Arrange the drained heirloom tomatoes in an overlapping spiral atop the cheese.
  7. Gently fold the dough rim over the edges of the tomatoes, creating rustic pleats. Brush the crust with olive oil and drizzle the honey over the tomatoes.
  8. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan evenly over the exposed crust and tomato edges.
  9. Bake until the crust is golden brown and the tomatoes are concentrated.
