Course Breakfast, Main Course
Prep Time 45 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour 15 minutes
Total Time 2 hours
Servings 8 slices

Ingredients

  • 1 premade (9-inch) pie crust, chilled
  • a sprinkle or two of flour
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 12 oz greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup milk of choice (I used coconut milk)
  • healthy pinch of sea salt and black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh oregano
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh basil + more fresh basil for garnish
  • 1 pint mini heirloom tomatoes, halved
  • 4 oz prosciutto, rolled up and sliced in half (or roughly torn)
  • cooking spray or butter to coat pan
  • pie weights or dry beans

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat oven to 400F. Coat a pie dish with cooking spray or butter.
  2. Combine egg yolk, eggs, yogurt, milk, a healthy pinch of sea salt and black pepper, oregano, and basil in a large bowl. Whisk until well combined and egg yolks have broken.

  3. Lay premade crust on a floured surface then roll out with a floured rolling pin until dough is about ⅛ inch thick (this won’t take long, only a few rolls). Once the pie crust is rolled out to the correct thickness, transfer it to the pie dish, then using your fingers, gently tap it in place around the dish. One the dough is fully molded around the dish, cut off any excess dough with scissors. Using a fork, pierce dough a few times on the bottom and along the sides then line with parchment paper. Top the parchment paper with pie weights or dry beans then bake on your oven’s middle rack for about 15 minutes or until just beginning to brown. Remove crust from oven then reduce heat to 350F.

  4. Remove the pie weights/dry beans then fill crust with the egg yogurt mixture from step 2. Bake for 20 minutes or until the egg mixture is just beginning to set. Top with halved mini heirloom tomatoes and prosciutto pieces then back for an additional 45 minutes or until the middle is completely set and the crust is golden. Allow to cool slightly, garnich with more fresh basil, then enjoy!
