This is a rich, savory "pie" that makes a fantastic dinner when served
with a fresh green salad with a glass of wine. Tomatoes and garlic are
a classic combination and this recipe highlights them both.

2 chicken bouillon cubes
1 container (16 ounces) sour cream
3 eggs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
1 frozen 9-inch deep-dish pie shell, thawed
1/4 cup Italian-flavored bread crumbs
2 garlic cloves, minced

Preheat the oven to 350 F.
In a small saucepan, combine the tomatoes and bouillon cubes over
medium-high heat, stirring frequently until the bouillon is dissolved;
remove from the heat and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, eggs, and 1/4 cup Parmesan
cheese; pour into the pie shell.
In a small bowl, combine the bread crumbs, remaining 1/4 cup
Parmesan cheese, and the garlic; mix well and sprinkle over the sour
cream mixture.
Spoon the tomato mixture over the filling, and bake for 55 to 60
minutes, or until the filling is set.
Remove from the oven; let sit for 5 minutes then cut and serve.

This tart is as tasty as it is beautiful. Great for a light dinner, or
as an appetizer.

Makes 1 each 10 inch tart

Parmesan Crust:

1 cups all-purpose white flour
6 tablespoons butter, salted
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, ground
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
3 to 4 tablespoons water, cold

Filling:

2 each eggs
3/4 cup cream
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, ground
4 each whole tomatoes
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated

Crust:
In mixer or food processor, combine all crust ingredients except water.
Mix or pulse until well combined, but pea-sized pieces of butter are
still visible. Add 7 tablespoons water and mix or pulse until just
combined. Add more water if necessary to get dough to come together.
Turn dough out and roll 1/8 inch thick and to fit the tart pan. Prick
bottom of tart crust with fork to prevent bubbles.

Place in refrigerator to chill for at least 15 minutes. Pre-heat oven
to 400 F. Pre-bake crust for 20 to 25 minutes until pale golden brown.
While crust is baking, prepare custard and tomatoes.

Filling:
In small bowl, beat eggs with cream, salt and pepper. Set aside.
Slice tomatoes 1/4 inch thick, sprinkle with 2 teaspoons salt, and set
on layers of paper towels to absorb excess juices. Let sit on paper
towels for about 10 to 15 minutes to drain. When crust is pre-baked,
remove from oven and sprinkle one quarter of the remaining Parmesan
cheese on the bottom. Then layer slices of
tomatoes on bottom in single layer, slightly overlapping. Pour custard
over tart, sprinkle with half of remaining Parmesan cheese.

Repeat process for remaining tart. Bake at 400 F for 20 to 25 minutes
until custard is set.

Serve hot, or let cool to room temperature before serving. Refrigerate
any remaining tart promptly.

Here's a nice recipe and can be served at room temp.

Tomato Tart

Butter pastry dough:

2 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 sticks cold, unsalted butter cut into bits
6 - 7 tablespoons of ice water (or more if necessary)

In a large bowl whisk together flour & salt. With a pastry blender or
your fingers, blend in butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
Add ice water one tablespoon at a time tossing with a fork to
incorporate until the mixture begins to form a dough. Gently knead
dough on a work surface a few times until it resembles pie crust-like
dough. Form into a ball and flatten into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap
and chill for one hour.

2 large onions thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 pound Jack or Gruyere cheese (I used smoked Gouda) finely shredded
1/2 pound plum tomatoes cut into half-inch wedges
1/2 pound yellow tomatoes cut into half-inch wedges
1/4 cup Nicoise olives pitted
Salt & Pepper to taste
(I sprinkled top with some thyme and oregano)

In a large heavy skillet cook onions & garlic in oil over moderate heat
until golden and any liquid has evaporated. Season to taste with salt &
pepper. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
Preheat oven to 375.
On a lightly floured surface with floured rolling pin, roll out dough
into 14" circle and transfer to 12" tart pan. Ease dough down into pan
and against sides. The dough is pretty resilient and easy to handle.
Trim excess and flute edges.
Spread onion mixture over dough and top with cheese. Arrange tomato
wedges in concentric circles over cheese and season to taste.
Bake tart in the middle of the oven for one hour or until pastry is
golden. Cool on a rack.
Serve warm or at room temperature.

Winter Tomato Pie

2 prebaked 9-in refrigerated pie crusts
2 (28-oz) cans whole tomatoes, drained,
chopped and juice pressed out
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
2 Tbsp dried basil
1 cup chopped yellow onions
1 cup mayonnaise
3 cups (12-oz) grated extra sharp cheddar cheese

Divide ingredients evenly between the two pie crusts as follows: Cover
bottom of crusts with drained and pressed tomatoes.
Sprinkle with salt, pepper and basil. Sprinkle onions on top.
Combine cheese and mayonnaise. Cover pies loosely but completely with
the mixture, spreading mayonnaise mixture with fingers. Do not press
this mixture down. When baked, the light and fluffy mayonnaise and
cheese mixture will be similar in texture to a quiche.
Bake pies at 350 F. for 30 to 35 minutes or until cheese is bubbly
and beginning to brown. Remove from oven and let set 20 to 30 minutes
before slicing.

Makes 2 pies
