Print Recipe

A buttery, flaky crust cradling juicy tomatoes, enveloped in a creamy, cheesy filling, topped with crisp bacon and fresh herbs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pie crust
  • 2¾–3 lbs medium tomatoes (heirloom, Roma, or fresh garden tomatoes)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 6 slices bacon, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
  • 1 shallot or small red onion, peeled and minced
  • ½ cup real mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 large egg, plus 1 egg yolk
  • 2 teaspoons hot sauce (optional)
  • 8 ounces shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh basil (or other fresh herbs)
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1½ tablespoons plain yellow cornmeal for dusting
  • Fresh basil leaves or herbs for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the pie crust by unrolling it into a 9-inch pie dish and dust the bottom with cornmeal.
  3. Slice the tomatoes about 1/4 inch thick and sprinkle with kosher salt.
  4. Cook the chopped bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Sauté the minced garlic and shallots in the leftover bacon grease for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Mix together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, egg, and egg yolk in a large bowl, then stir in cooked bacon, sautéed garlic and shallots, cheddar, Parmesan, basil, and black pepper.
  7. Layer the tomato slices at the bottom of the pie crust, add half of the cheese filling, another layer of tomatoes, the remaining cheese filling, and another layer of tomatoes on top.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
  9. Cool for 10-15 minutes before serving and garnish with fresh herbs.
