Ingredients

10 vine-ripe tomatoes, chopped into cubes
1 large yellow onion, diced
1 tsp. freshly picked thyme
2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1⁄4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
One bunch of fresh basil leaves
1⁄2 cup cream cheese
1⁄2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
1⁄2 cup of shredded Parmesan cheese
2 large Roma or heirloom tomatoes, thinly sliced and blotted dry with paper towels

Directions

Preheat your oven to 375°
We’re going to keep it simple with the pie crust – Enter Pillsbury Doughboy. Cook that bad boy up and let it cool.
Now to the tomatoes: Dice half of the tomatoes and put them in a bowl with a dash of salt and a dash of sugar. Set aside.
Take the other half of the diced tomatoes and put them on a sheet pan with the thyme, salt, and olive oil to roast for 30-35 minutes or until a little bit browned.
Caramelize your onions by sautéing them over medium heat and stirring constantly.
Mix the diced tomatoes, roasted tomatoes, and caramelized onion together and place it in the already cooked pie crust.
Mix your cheeses all together.
Top the tomato and pie crust with the cheese mixture, as well as freshly cut heirloom tomatoes, and roast in the oven for an additional 30 minutes.
Bon appetit!
