125g butter, diced and chilled

Method:
Preheat oven to 220˚C. Line 2 large baking trays with baking paper.
To make parmesan pastry, place flour and cheese into a food processor. Process for 30 seconds or until combined. Add butter and process until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add egg and water. Process until mixture comes together. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and lightly knead until mixture comes together.
Form into a 3cm-thick disc. Wrap in plastic film and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until firm.

Roll pastry out between 2 sheets of baking paper until formed into a 34cm round. Place on second baking tray. Pile vegetables and tomatoes onto pastry, leaving a 4cm border. Fold border towards centre of pie. Brush border with egg wash. Sprinkle pie with salt and pepper.
Bake for 30 minutes or until pastry is golden and crisp. Cut into wedges and serve.
