TOMATO PESTO QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the flours and salt. Whisk together until well combined. Set aside.
• Remove the oil from the freezer and drizzle into the flour mixture. Using a fork or dough blender, incorporate until crumbly. Sprinkle in the ice water, tossing the dough with a fork until it is just moist enough to hold together without appearing crumbly. Knead briefly with your hands until dough is smooth and then shape into a round.
• Roll the dough to a thickness of 1/8-1/4 in and approximately 3 inches larger than that of the pie pan. Place in the pie pan and then work it around until it evenly covers the whole pan.
• Layer half the tomato slices in the pie crust and sprinkle with half the feta cheese. Whisk together eggs and pesto until well mixed, and stir in mozzarella, basil/parsley, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Pour half of the mixture over first tomato layer. Add a second layer of tomato slices and top with the rest of the egg mixture. Sprinkle the remaining feta cheese on top.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until egg mixture firms and feta browns.
