1 TBSP EXTRA-VIRGIN OLIVE OIL
1 LB MIXED SUMMER SQUASH (ZUCCHINI, YELLOW SQUASH AND PATTYPAN), CUT IN ¼-IN. ROUNDS
2 SHALLOTS, THINLY SLICED
2 TSP CHOPPED FRESH THYME OR MARJORAM, PLUS SPRIGSFOR GARNISH
1 TSP CHOPPED GARLIC
FRESHLY GROUND PEPPER
1 REFRIGERATED PIE CRUST (FROM A 15-OZ BOX OF TWO)
4 OZ ROQUEFORT, GORGONZOLA OR OTHER GOOD-QUALITY BLUE CHEESE

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add squash and shallots and cook, turning pieces as they start to color, 7 minutes or until crisp-tender. Remove from heat; stir in thyme, garlic and pepper to taste. Cool to room temperature.
Heat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; unroll or unfold pie crust on the parchment. With a rolling pin, roll crust to a 13-in. round. Crumble ½ the cheese over crust to within 2 in. of edge. Arrange squash mixture, pepper strips and tomato slices on cheese; fold edge of the crust over filling and brush crust with egg.
Bake 35 to 40 minutes until pastry is golden. Slide tart, still on parchment, onto a wire rack. Crumble remaining cheese over top. Let cool before serving.
