Directions

  1. Place a heavy baking sheet on middle rack of oven, then preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Toss squash with 1 teaspoon salt, then drain in a colander 30 minutes. Pat squash dry.
  3. Cook scallions (except greens) and garlic in ol with 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, 4 to 6 minutes. Add squash and okra and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are crisp-tender, 7 to 9 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in tomatoes.
  4. Transfer to a large bowl, then toss with corn, cheese, basil, cornmeal, and scallion greens. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Make Crust and Bake Pie: Pulse dry ingredients with butter in a food processor until mixture resembles coarse meal with some roughly pea-size butter lumps. Transfer to a bowl and stir in milk until mixture just forms a dough.
  6. Gather dough into a ball and chill, wrapped in plastic wrap, 5 minutes.
  7. Halve dough and roll out 1 piece on a well-floured surface with a floured rolling pin into a 13-inch round. Transfer to a 9-inch glass pie plate, leaving overhang.
  8. Spread eggs evenly in crust and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add vegetable filling, mounding slightly in middle.
  9. Roll out remaining dough in same manner and place over filling. Trim, leaving a 1/3-inch overhang. Press edges of crust together. Fold overhand under and crimp edge all around.
  10. Brush crust with additonal milk, then cut 3 steam vents.
  11. Bake until crust is golden and filling is bubbling, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Cool at least 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
