Instructions
- To prepare crust: Combine whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a large bowl.
- Make a well in the center, add oil and water and gradually stir them in to form a soft dough.
- Wrap the dough in plastic and chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Roll the dough into a 12-inch circle on a lightly floured surface.
- 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, 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper and the remaining 1/4 cup cheese.
- Layer the remaining tomatoes on top and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Pour the egg mixture over the top.
- Bake the pie until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes.
- Let cool for 20 minutes before serving.
