Place the pastry into a 9-inch (deep dish) pie plate. Flute the edges.

Line pastry shell with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil. Bake at 450°F for 8 minutes. Remove foil; bake 5 minutes longer; set aside.
Step 3
Place tomato slices onto a clean towel. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Allow to sit for 15 minutes, then gently pat slices with paper towels to remove some moisture.

In a large skillet, cook tomatoes in oil for 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Transfer to a plate.
Step 6
In a small bowl, whisk eggs with garlic powder and heavy cream very well; stir in cheddar cheese.
Step 7
Sprinkle olives and onions into partially-baked crust; top with three slices mozzarella cheese, then the tomato slices, then remaining three mozzarella cheese slices. Pour egg mixture over the top.
Step 8
Bake at 375° F (preheated) for 40-45 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
