Prepare the Pâte Brisée: Combine Flour and Salt in a food processor. Pulse in Butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add Ice Water, pulsing until dough comes together. Flatten into a disc, wrap, and chill for at least 1 hour.
Prepare Basil Mayonnaise: Gently fold chopped Basil into the Homemade Mayonnaise. Stir in Lemon Juice, Shallot, Dijon Mustard, and Hot Sauce. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out the chilled dough and place in a 9-inch pie plate. Crimp edges and blind bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool.
Arrange Tomato slices in a single layer in the pre-baked pie crust, alternating colors. Sprinkle with Maldon Sea Salt Flakes and Freshly Ground White Pepper.
Spread the Basil-Infused Mayonnaise evenly over the Tomato layer.
Sprinkle Parmesan and Gruyere Cheese over the mayonnaise.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
Let cool slightly before serving.
