Tomato Cobbler

Makes one 10-inch cobbler, serves 12.

This savory side dish is a favorite at the end of summer, when tomatoes are at their peak of flavor. The Pâte Brisée crust used here offers the rich flavors of Jarlsberg and fresh thyme. Using an assortment of multicolored cherry tomatoes provides a burst of color in every bite.

1. To make the crust: In the bowl of a food processor, combine flour, sugar and salt. Add the butter and pulse the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs, about 10 seconds. Add the Jarlsberg cheese and thyme and pulse until just combined. With the machine running, add the ice water through the feed tube in a slow and steady stream, a little bit at a time until the dough just comes together. The dough should not be wet or sticky. If the dough is too dry and does not hold together, add a little more water.
2. Turn the dough out onto a clean work surface. Wrap in plastic wrap, shaping it into a flattened disk. Chill for at least 1 hour.
3. Place an oven rack in the middle position. Preheat the oven to 375° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick silicone baking mat; set aside.
4. To make the filling: Heat the olive oil in medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, shallots and garlic and sate until tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
5. In a large bowl, toss the tomatoes with the flour, sugar, salt and pepper until well coated. Add the onion mixture and toss until well combined. Pour the tomato mixture into a 10-inch pie plate; set aside.
6. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the chilled dough to a 12-inch round. Place it on top of the tomato mixture and tuck any overhanging dough underneath. Brush the top with the egg wash and sprinkle with the Jarlsberg cheese. Use a knife or scissor to cut a vent in the crust. Set the pie plate on the prepared baking sheet and bake, rotating the sheet about two-thirds of the way throught the baking time, until the crust is golden brown and the juices are bubbling, 45 to 55 minutes. Let cool completely before serving.
