Instructions
Place flour in bowl of a heavy-duty electric stand mixer; cut in cold butter with a pastry blender or fork until mixture resembles small peas. Chill 10 minutes.
Add bacon to flour mixture; beat at low speed just until combined. Gradually add sour cream, 1/4 cup at a time, beating just until blended after each addition.
Spoon mixture onto a heavily floured surface; sprinkle lightly with flour, and knead 3 or 4 times, adding more flour as needed.
Roll to a 13-inch round. Gently place dough in a 9-inch fluted tart pan with 2-inch sides and a removable bottom. Press dough into pan; trim off excess dough along edges. Chill 30 minutes.
Cut 2 lb. tomatoes into 1/4-inch-thick slices, and remove seeds.
Place tomatoes in a single layer on paper towels; sprinkle with 1 tsp. salt.
Stir together Cheddar cheese, next 10 ingredients, and remaining 1 tsp. salt in a large bowl until combined.
Pat tomato slices dry with a paper towel.
Sprinkle cornmeal over bottom of crust. Lightly spread 1/2 cup cheese mixture onto crust; layer with half of tomato slices in slightly overlapping rows.
Spread with 1/2 cup cheese mixture. Repeat layers, using remaining tomato slices and cheese mixture.
Cut remaining 3/4 lb. tomatoes into 1/4-inch-thick slices, and arrange on top of pie.
Bake at 425 for 40 to 45 minutes, shielding edges with foil during last 20 minutes to prevent excessive browning.
Let stand 1 to 2 hours before serving.
