For best results, use ripe, flavorful tomatoes. Roma or heirloom varieties work well. Pre-baking the pie crust helps prevent it from becoming soggy. Blind bake the crust for about 10-12 minutes before adding the filling. Adjust the amount of crushed red pepper flakes according to your preference for spice. If the cheese topping starts to brown too quickly, reduce the oven temperature slightly or cover loosely with foil for the last 10-15 minutes of baking. This pie is even better the next day after the flavors have had time to meld together.
