Ingredients
Scale
1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
4–5 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
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
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.
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.
Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the tomatoes.
Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly and lightly browned.
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.
