Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 package of refrigerated pie crust
  • 2 large heirloom tomatoes sliced and seeded
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 cup Gruyere cheese grated
  • 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese grated
  • 3/4 cup Duke's Mayo
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil chiffonade
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 1 cup red onion chopped

Instructions
 

  • Press your pie crust into the bottom and sides of a cold 10-inch cast-iron skillet. Prepare the edges of the crust as desired. Place the skillet and crust into the fridge for a minimum of 30 minutes.
  • Slice the tomatoes and squeeze out the seeds. Place the slices onto a paper towel and sprinkle them with 1/2 of the salt. Let them stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat your oven to 425.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the cheeses, mayo, egg, herbs, pepper and remaining salt.
  • Remove the crust from the fridge and sprinkle with the red onion and then top with one-third of the cheese mixture.
  • Use a paper towel to remove any excess moisture from the tomatoes and layer half of them over the cheese mixture. Top with another one-third of the cheese, the remaining tomatoes and finish with the remaining cheese mixture.
  • Bake until golden brown for about 40 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before serving. This is also great served cold or at room temperature.
