Use the ripest in-season summer tomatoes you can find for the best flavor. Always blind bake the crust and always drain and blot the tomatoes thoroughly to prevent a soggy pie. Freshly grated cheese melts much more smoothly than pre-shredded. The pie keeps refrigerated for up to 3 days but does not freeze well. For a bacon variation, layer 4 to 6 strips of cooked crumbled bacon over the onion before adding the tomatoes.
