Calories 212kcal
Ingredients
For the Crust:
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 3/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 flax eggs each "egg" = 1 tbsp ground flax seeds + 1/4 cup water, mixed
For the Filling:
- 4 ounces heirloom tomatoes
- 3 ounces vegan cheese substitute
- black pepper and other desired herbs and spices to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Mix all crust ingredients together and press into a 9" pie pan. Dock the crust and bake for about 15-20 minutes, so the crust starts to set.
- Remove the crust from the oven, evenly sprinkle the vegan "cheese" shreds over the top of the crust.
- Slice the tomatoes into 1/4" slices, and arrange on top of the "cheese."
- Sprinkle on cracked pepper, oregano, basil or whatever other herbs and spices you desire.
- Cover and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, until the "cheese" has melted, and the tomatoes are soft.
- Let cool, slice and enjoy!
Notes
This is basically impossible to cut and keep slices intact while hot, sadly. It will cut nicely once chilled, though. So, there's that.
