8 ounces Parmesan
8 ounces sharp cheddar
1/4 Vidalia onion, grated

How to make The Best Southern Tomato Pie
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees F.
Step 2: To your preferred thickness, slice the tomatoes and lay them flat on a paper towel. Season the tomato slices with kosher salt and a bit of sugar. On top, place another layer of paper towel. Set aside for about 5 to 10 minutes. To get rid of the remaining juice, carefully apply pressure to the tomato slices. Make sure not to squish tomatoes.
Step 3: Place the sharp cheddar, Monterey jack, Parmesan, mayonnaise, diced pimentos, freshly-grated Vidalia onion, minced onion, and black pepper in a large bowl. Mix well. Add the mayonnaise slowly until you reach your desired consistency.
Step 4: Apply a thin layer of Grey Poupon Dijon Mustard to the pie crust using a brush or a spoon, covering the pie crust completely.
Step 5: To the pie crust, add a layer of tomatoes, then the pimento cheese mixture. Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes. Broil the pie for 2 to 4 minutes. Once the top of the pie is perfectly browned, remove the pie from the oven.
Step 6: Serve the pie garnished with some basil. Enjoy!
