  • Egg
  • Salt & Pepper

Instructions

  • Whisk stir the flour and salt in a large bowl.
  • Sprinkle bits of butter over dough and using a pastry blender or your fingertips, work it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse meal, with the biggest pieces of butter the size of tiny peas.

  • Leaving a 2" border around the outside, layer the cheese, corn and finally tomatoes.

  • Chill for 10-15 minutes.
  • Brush dough with egg wash and sprinkle lightly with salt.
