Instructions
- To prepare crust: Combine whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper in a large bowl.

- Transfer to a 9-inch pie pan, preferably deep-dish, and press into the bottom and up the sides.
- Trim any overhanging crust.
- Line the dough with a piece of foil or parchment paper large enough to lift out easily; fill evenly with pie weights or dry beans.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove the foil or paper and weights.
- Let cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes or up to 1 hour.
- To prepare filling: Whisk eggs and milk in a medium bowl.
- Sprinkle half the cheese over the crust, then layer half the tomatoes evenly over the cheese.
- Sprinkle with corn, thyme, ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper and the remaining ¼ cup cheese.
- Layer the remaining tomatoes on top and sprinkle with the remaining ¼ teaspoon salt.
