1

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

5

Layer half of the tomatoes in the pie crust, followed by half of the cheddar cheese, then half of the sautéed onion mixture.

Repeat the layering with the remaining tomatoes, cheese, and onions.

7

In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, mustard, vinegar, sugar, black pepper, and paprika until smooth.

8

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered tomatoes and cheese.
