goat cheese

🥗Healthier: feta cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is a lower-calorie alternative with a cheesy flavor.

1

Make a semolina crust in a food processor using all-purpose flour, durum flour, semolina flour, sugar, and salt.

2

Pulse the dry ingredients together before adding cold butter cut into small pieces.

3

Pulse until the mixture resembles pea-sized crumbs, checking frequently to avoid overworking the dough.

4

Add a small amount of cold water as needed to bring the dough together without making it gloppy.

5

Divide the dough in half, placing one half in the freezer and the other in the refrigerator to chill for about 30 minutes.

6

Slice 1.5 pounds of tomatoes about 1/4 inch thick and salt them with 1/2 teaspoon of salt in layers to ensure even salting.

7

Slice a quarter of a small red onion using a mandolin for even slices and add it to the salted tomatoes to draw out moisture.

8

Let the salted tomatoes and onions sit for about 30 minutes to release their juices.

9

In a mixing bowl, combine 2 pieces of goat cheese and 1 egg, then pulse in a food processor until smooth.

10

Slowly add heavy cream to the goat cheese mixture until it reaches a smooth consistency, then add fresh thyme and pepper to taste.

11

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) while waiting for the crust and tomatoes to finish prepping.
