Ingredients

  • 1 refrigerated pie crust warmed on the counter for about 10 minutes
  • 2 pounds medium tomatoes about 4 or 5
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons Kosher salt use less if you use table salt
  • 1 sweet onion chopped small
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon canola or vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh herbs like basil parsley and thyme
  • 1/2 cup grated sharp white cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup fresh parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise not Miracle Whip

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425.
  • Press dough into a pie plate (don't worry about what it looks like all that much)
  • Line the dough with foil and pour in something to hold the crust in place while it bakes--like dried beans or uncooked rice.
  • Bake the pie crust until golden--about 20 minutes.
  • While the crust bakes, sautee the onion in the canola oil over medium heat until soft and slightly translucent--about 6 or 7 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Remove the crust from the oven and lift out the foil and beans/rice. Reduce oven to 350.
  • Allow the crust to cool about 10 minutes.
  • Thinly slice your tomatoes and lay them in one layer on paper towels.
  • Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and allow them to sit about 10 minutes. Pat dry before moving on.
  • In a small bowl, mix the cheeses and mayonnaise. Set aside.
  • Now assemble the pie: into the crust, layer 1/2 the onions, 1/2 the tomatoes and sprinkle with the herbs and some extra pepper.
  • Repeat the onion, tomato and herbs and top with the cheese and mayonnaise mixture.
  • Bake 350 for 30 minutes until golden brown. Serve hot or warm.
