This tuned out well! I made some slight changes. I cooked the pie shell first so it wasn't underdone. I also baked it at 350 for 50 minutes which cooked the tomatoes a bit slower and dried them more so it wasn't soggy. I added thinly sliced red onions and will try other cheese next time for more flavor.
