Method

In a bowl, combine first four ingredients. Cut in shortening until crumbly. Add water, tossing with a fork, until dough forms a ball. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to fit a 9 inch pie plate and transfer pastry to plate. Trim to 1/2 inch beyond edge of plate and flute edges. Bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes then cool completely. Place tomatoes in crust, sprinkle with salt, basil, pepper, onions and cheeses. In a bowl, whisk flour, milk and eggs until smooth. Pour over filling and bake at 375 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.

 

Notes: Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.

 

Number of Servings: 6-8
