Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and roll out your pie crust on a lightly floured surface until about 12 inches in diameter. Fit it into a large baking dish.
  2. Slice your fresh tomatoes and arrange them on layers of paper towels, sprinkling a light pinch of salt. Let them sit for about 15 minutes.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the drained tomatoes, shredded cheese, chopped herbs, beaten eggs, and spices. Fold until blended.
  4. Pour the mixture into the prepared crust, ensuring it's spread evenly and level.
  5. Bake for about 40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.
  6. Cool for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing to allow the flavors to meld.
