Steps

  1. Prepare a large bowl, sift the flour into it, and add the butter cut into pieces. Crack an egg into the bowl, then add salt and oregano. Quickly knead the ingredients into a smooth dough. Shape it into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and place it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Drain the mozzarella well and cut it into smaller cubes. Prepare a separate bowl, pour in the cream, full-fat sour cream, and eggs, then mix all the ingredients well. Add the mozzarella, mustard, grated lemon zest, and oregano. Season generously with salt, and add pepper and nutmeg.

  3. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Roll out the dough thinly on a floured work surface. Prepare the pie mold with a serrated edge and line it with the dough up to the edge. Prick the bottom of the dough several times with a fork.

  4. Thoroughly wash the tomatoes, cut them in half, and remove the stems. Divide the egg cream into the mold, and place the halved tomatoes cut side down on top. Sprinkle the pie with additional oregano to taste.

  5. Place the mold in the oven and bake the pie for about 30 minutes. Once the pie is baked, carefully remove it from the molds, cut it into smaller pieces, and serve it to your guests.

Advice

For this recipe, we need 4 pie molds with a serrated edge. Its best to use an organic lemon, as its peel is not treated with pesticides. If organic lemons are not available, submerge the lemon in boiling water for a few minutes and wipe it thoroughly to remove the wax, which contains toxins.
