Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 cup sour cream

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  3. In a mixing bowl, combine sliced tomatoes, sautéed onions, chopped basil, cheddar cheese, eggs, sour cream, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  4. Pour the filling into the pre-baked pie crust and spread it evenly.
  5. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the top is golden brown and bubbling. Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
