Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a food processor, pulse 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour with 1/2 tsp kosher salt until combined, then add 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter cubes and pulse until crumbly. Add 3 tbsp ice water and pulse until dough forms a ball.

  3. Step 3: Thinly slice 4 medium heirloom tomatoes and arrange in overlapping rings over crust. Scatter 2 tbsp fresh thyme, 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, and 1/4 cup finely minced shallot over tomatoes. Drizzle with 3 tbsp olive oil, then season with 1/2 tsp kosher salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  4. Step 4: Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes until tomatoes are tender and edges are crisp, then sprinkle with 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese until melted and golden.
