Make sure your tomatoes are firm and not too ripe. Ripe tomatoes will add too much moisture to the pie. —Lois Morgan, Edisto Beach, South Carolina

Ingredients

  • 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons ice water
  • FILLING:
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/3 cup thinly sliced green onions
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 6 medium tomatoes (1-3/4 pounds), cut into 1/4-inch slices
  • 4 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, mix flour and salt; cut in butter until crumbly. Gradually add ice water, tossing with a fork until dough holds together when pressed. Shape into a disk; cover and refrigerate 30 minutes or overnight.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim crust to 1/2 in. beyond rim of plate; flute edge. Line unpricked crust with a double thickness of foil. Fill with pie weights, dried beans or uncooked rice.
  3. Bake until bottom is lightly browned, 20-25 minutes. Remove foil and weights; bake until light brown, 5-10 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack.
  4. For filling, in a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, cheese, green onions and seasonings. Arrange a third of the tomatoes in crust; spread with a third of the mayonnaise mixture. Repeat layers twice. Bake 25 minutes. Top with bacon; bake until filling is bubbly, 5-10 minutes longer. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.
