Reply to comment by SMS626 in [homemade] tomato and cheese pie by SMS626

You have to dock it, and it helps to par-bake it, but I love the results. The cheese makes a barrier so the tomatoes don't make the pastry soggy. I've also used a layer of creme fraiche as a barrier.

Lay pie crust down in tart dish (you can buy it or make your own) Even it out and press to the sides with a fork Brush with melted unsalted butter combined with some garlic powder.

Sprinkle freshly grated Romano cheese Sprinkle freshly grated low moisture mozzarella

Cut a tomato super thin. Soak out as much moisture as possible using a cheese cloth or paper towel.

Lay the tomato over the top of the cheese. Brush with a little more of the butter and a drizzle of olive oil. Salt and pepper generously. Bake according to the pie crust recipe. And broil the top. Cool for a bit and top with more grated Romano, red pepper, and fresh basil.
