Take a frozen homemade pie crust out of the freezer and let it thaw in the refrigerator.

Flour the surface and the rolling pin, then roll out the pie crust into a circle shape.

Lift the rolled pie crust and place it into the pie plate, crimping the edges with fingers.

Blind bake the pie crust by placing parchment paper over it and adding dried beans to weigh it down.

Preheat the oven to 350°F and bake the crust for about 10-15 minutes, checking to ensure it doesn't get too crispy.

Prepare the tomatoes by removing the core, peeling them, and slicing them into 4-5 slices each.

Salt the tomato slices and place them in a colander over a bowl to catch the juices.

While the pie crust is baking, mix together ½ cup sour cream, 3 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, and black pepper to taste in a bowl.

Once the pie crust is partially baked, pat the tomato slices dry with paper towels before layering them in the crust.

Dollop the creamy cheese mixture over the tomatoes in the pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
