📝 Preparation Steps
1
On a lightly floured surface, roll 1 ball of pie dough into a 13-inch circle. Transfer the crust to a 9-inch deep-dish pie dish. Trim the edges so the crust hangs over the pie dish by 1/2 inch. Tuck the edges of the crust under to be even with the edge of the pie dish and press all around with the tines of a fork. Place the crust in the refrigerator for ⏱️ 1 hour (or in the freezer for ⏱️ 30 minutes).

Meanwhile, slice the tomatoes crosswise into 1/4-inch thick slices. Using your fingers, push out as many of the watery tomato seeds as you can. Lay the slices flat on a paper towel-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with the salt. Let drain for ⏱️ 30 minutes, then pat very dry.
3
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, egg, egg yolk, and hot sauce (if using). Stir in the cheddar, blue cheese, scallions, parsley, dill, and pepper.
large egg, plus 1 egg yolk1
4
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Sprinkle the cornmeal over the bottom of the crust. Pat the tomato slices dry again, then place 1/3 of the tomatoes in the bottom of the pie crust, overlapping them slightly to fit. Top with half of the mayonnaise mixture. Repeat with another layer of tomatoes and another layer of mayonnaise mixture. Place the remaining tomatoes on top, pressing the last layer gently into the mayonnaise mixture. Bake for ⏱️ 20 minutes.
5
Remove the pie from the oven and wrap just the edges of the crust with foil. Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F and bake until the mayonnaise mixture is puffed and golden brown and the center is no longer giggly, ⏱️ 30 minutes more. Let cool for 1 1/⏱️ 2 hours.

Top with additional herbs, then slice and serve.
