1
Slice the tomatoes 1/8-inch thick and drain on paper towels for about an hour, giving them a gentle pat. When ready to assemble the pie, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Combine the Gruyere and cheddar cheeses in a bowl and set aside.
2
Sprinkle some bread crumbs and a layer of Gruyere cheese on the bottom of the pie shell. Place a layer of sliced tomatoes, then a layer of onion. Sprinkle with salt pepper and some of the basil, then a layer of cheese. Continue layering the ingredients, until the pie is just heaping full.
3
Mix the breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese, along with any remaining shredded cheese together. Spoon the mixture evenly over the top and then drizzle the olive oil all over.
4
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the breadcrumbs are browned. Allow the pie to cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.
