Cuisine American
Servings 8

Ingredients
  

  • 1 homemade pie crust
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • ¾ cup dry breadcrumbs
  • pounds heirloom tomatoes thinly sliced
  • 2 Vidalia onions thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons basil chopped
  • 1 tablespoon oregano chopped
  • ½ cup aged cheddar cheese shredded
  • ½ cup mozzarella cheese shredded
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese grated, plus more for sprinkling
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil plus more for drizzling

Homemade Pie Crust

  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¾ cups unsalted butter 1 ½ sticks, very cold
  • 1/3 cup vegetable shortening Crisco, very cold
  • 6 tablespoons ice water plus more if dough is too thick.

Instructions
 

  • Place flour and salt into food processor fitted with a steel blade and pulse to mix.
  • Dice butter. Add diced butter and cold shortening to processor.
  • Add ice water to the mixture down the feed tube with machine running. Pulse machine until dough forms a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
  • Cut dough in half. Roll one of the pieces on a well-floured board rolling from the center to the edge, turning and flouring the dough to make sure it does not stick.
  • Continue rolling until 14 inches in diameter. Fold the dough in half over the rolling-pin, place in pie pan. Unfold and mold to pie plate. (For this recipe, place the pie crust in the refrigerator for 20 minutes)

For the pie:

  • Remove pie crust from refrigerator and cover lightly with aluminum foil.  Place dried beans on top of the foil and bake in a 400 degree oven for 12 minutes.  Remove foil and beans and return crust back into the oven for another 4-5 minutes or until crust is golden in color.  Remove and place on cooling rack.  Lightly brush mayonnaise on surface of crust and let cool completely.
  • Sprinkle ¼ of bread crumbs over bottom of crust.  Layer half of the tomatoes, onions, salt, pepper, basil, oregano, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese.  Repeat with another ¼ of breadcrumbs and remaining tomatoes, onions, salt, pepper, basil, oregano, and cheeses.
  • In a small bowl, combine olive oil and remaining breadcrumbs.  Sprinkle breadcrumbs on top of tomato pie and finish with another drizzle of olive oil.
  • Bake the pie for about 1 hour or until hot and bubbly (you may want to cover the crust with a foil so that it does not burn).  Remove pie from oven and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.  Let pie cool for an hour and serve.
