- 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

Notes
- You can substitute Gruyere cheese for Parmesan if you prefer a different flavor.
- For extra flavor, brush the crust with Dijon mustard before adding the filling.
