Not sure where we found this recipe but I adapted it to our taste.   You can substitute a  Pillsbury pizza crust for pie crust and make it a pizza.   Be sure to bake off the pie crust first when using the deep dish pie crust.    No need to pre bake the pizza crust.

Tomato Pie Ingredients:

4 medium ripe tomatoes, de-seeded and thinly sliced 1 cups shredded cheddar  jack cheese and 1 Cup of Italian Blend Shredded Cheese

1 pie shell or Pillsbury Pizza Crust

3 oz. garlic and herb boursin spreadable cheese or cream cheese
