  A vegetable-cheese pie with a cornmeal-cheese crust.

  Begin the crust in the morning--it needs to sit for several hours.

  Crust:

  Combine corn meal, cold water, and salt. Stir into boiling water.
  Cook, stirring vigorously for five minutes--until thick. Remove from
  heat; add cheese.

  Beat a spoonful of hot polenta into the beaten egg, then beat the egg
  mixture back into the polenta. Beat 1 minute. Let stand until cool
  enough to handle.

  Butter a 9" pie pan. Form the polenta into a thick crust, patting into
  place with wet hands and a spatula. Let stand, uncovered, several
  hours, until surface of crust is fairly dry. Pre-bake at 350 F for
  45 minutes. After the first 30 minutes of baking, brush the surface
  of the crust with olive oil.

  Filling:

  Saute onion and pepper in olive oil until tender. Add oregano and
  black pepper. Sprinkle 2/3 of the mozzarella onto baked crust. Spread
  on sauteed vegetables. Arrange slices of tomato over saute and top
  with remaining mozzarella and a little parmesan. Broil until brpown
  and bubbly. Serve right away.
