Tomato Pesto Crostata

The cornmeal in the crust makes this savory, somewhat of a pie, really special. It has a nice, crunch to it. Its a good variation of traditional crust, reminding me of that cornmeal crisp you get from the bottom of a thin pizza. 

So the crust in the recipe is a Martha, of  course, from the Pies and Tarts book, and the center is all me! I had a bunch of cherry tomatoes and couldn't find a recipe that quite fit so I just made one up! Pesto, tomatoes and cheese. Yum. You can add more cheese if you want to this recipe, more is always better. And Dubliner Cheese, similar to a sharp white cheddar, but more of a flaky texture. Its like no other cheese. Get the big block from Costco because a small one will be gone in no time. 

Don't forget to egg wash! It makes such a nice golden finish but somehow makes the crust taste amazing too. 

Not much to write today, sorry! I started a pretty much full time job at a grocery store, because I needed money to bake all this stuff! No I just need it to be an adult in general, but yes also for all the baking I do. But it is taking up so much of my time! Which is a good thing that I finally got some type of job, but now I have so much less baking time. 

Hopefully one day I'll get paid to do all this! Put my photography degree to work!
