Cook Time 1 hour 5 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 5 minutes
Servings 8 Servings

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Frozen Pie Crust Dough thawed
  • Heirloom Tomatoes about 4 large plus 1 pint of small tomatoes
  • Sea Salt and Black Pepper
  • ¼ Cup of Basil Pesto
  • 1 egg
  • ½ Cup of Mayonnaise
  • 1 Tbsp of Dijon Mustard
  • 1 ½ Cups of Sharp Cheddar shredded
  • ¼ Cup of Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 1 Shallot thinly sliced
  • 1 Garlic Clove minced
  • ¼ Cup of Fresh Chive minced and divided

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Slice large heirloom tomatoes to ¼” thickness, and halve or quarter the smaller tomatoes; arrange all of the tomatoes on the parchment lined baking sheet and season well with salt and pepper. Place tomatoes in the oven for 20 minutes to roast; remove when finished and set aside to cool slightly.
  • While the tomatoes are cooking, prepare the crust and filling. Roll out two circles of the thawed pie crust dough and layer them on top of one another; use a rolling pin to press them together and create one thick crust to be placed in a deep pie dish. Spread the basil pesto inside the bottom of the crust-lined pie dish and set aside.
  • To make the filling, stir together egg, mayonnaise, dijon, shredded cheddar, grated parmesan, shallot and garlic. Fold in half of the chives and stir until combined.
  • Add tomatoes and filling in alternate layers, starting with about ⅓ of the tomatoes, adding half of the filling, another ⅓ of the tomatoes, the remaining half of the filling, and the final ⅓ of the tomatoes on top. Sprinkle with the remaining chopped fresh chives and sprinkle the crust with sea salt.
  • Bake the pie at 425 degrees for 45 minutes; remove from oven and set aside to rest for 20 minutes before serving.
