Ingredients

  • 1 frozen pie shell
  • 3 large tomatoes sliced
  • Salt to taste
  • A handful of fresh basil
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 Boursin wedge
  • 1/4 cup mayo
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp Creole Trinity and Herb seasoning

Instructions

  • Slice the tomatoes and salt them generously on both sides. Let them sit for 10 to 15 minutes, then pat completely dry with paper towels. This step is critical — it pulls excess moisture out of the tomatoes so the pie doesn't turn soggy.
  • In a bowl, mix together the shredded cheddar, Boursin, mayo, CTH, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  • Place the pie shell in a pie dish. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly across the bottom of the crust. Layer the basil leaves over the breadcrumbs, then layer the salted and dried tomatoes on top.
  • Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the tomato layer, covering all the way to the edges.
  • Bake at 350°F for 20 to 25 minutes until the cheese topping is bubbly and golden. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
