Tips:
- Use ripe tomatoes. The riper the tomatoes, the sweeter and more flavorful your pie will be.
- Don't overcook the tomatoes. Overcooked tomatoes will lose their flavor and become mushy. Cook them just until they are softened and juicy.
- Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is one of the main ingredients in this pie, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that you enjoy. A sharp cheddar cheese or a mixture of cheddar and Parmesan cheese works well.
- Don't overwork the dough. Overworked dough will be tough and chewy. Mix the dough just until it comes together, then stop.
- Use a preheated oven. A preheated oven will help ensure that the pie cooks evenly.

This savory tomato pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover tomatoes. With its flaky crust, creamy filling, and juicy tomatoes, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
