Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
  • 45 large ripe tomatoes, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Place the pie crust on a baking sheet. Arrange the tomato slices in the crust, overlapping them slightly. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and the black pepper.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the basil, parsley, mayonnaise, sour cream, cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, flour, garlic powder, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Mix well.
  4. Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the tomatoes.
  5. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly and lightly browned.
  6. Let the pie cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This helps prevent a soggy bottom.

Notes

  • For best results, drain the sliced tomatoes on paper towels for about 30 minutes before assembling the pie to remove excess moisture.
  • You can prepare this pie a day in advance and reheat it gently before serving.
  • This pie is delicious served warm or at room temperature.
