Ingredients

Scale

4 cups ripe tomatoes, sliced
1 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 pre-made pie crust (9-inch)
3 large eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 medium onion, diced
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Pre-bake the pie crust for about 10 minutes to prevent sogginess.
In a skillet over medium heat, sauté diced onion in olive oil until golden brown (about 5 minutes).
In a mixing bowl, combine sliced tomatoes, sautéed onions, chopped basil, cheddar cheese, eggs, sour cream, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Pour the filling into the pre-baked pie crust and spread it evenly.
Bake for 35-40 minutes until the top is golden brown and bubbling. Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
