Ingredients

• 4 large ripe tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 9-inch pre-made pie crust
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 10 large leaves fresh basil leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Slice the tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Place the slices on a paper towel-lined baking sheet, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt, and let them sit for 20 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Pat dry with paper towels.

Step 3

While the tomatoes are draining, fit the pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and flute the edges if desired. Prick the bottom with a fork and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix together shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses with the mayonnaise until well combined. Set aside.

Step 5

Layer the pie crust with half of the tomato slices, overlapping slightly. Sprinkle with freshly torn basil leaves and a pinch of black pepper. Drizzle half of the olive oil over the tomatoes.

Step 6

Add the remaining tomato slices and repeat the layering with basil, black pepper, and olive oil.

Step 7

Spread the cheese and mayonnaise mixture evenly over the top of the tomatoes, spreading it all the way to the edges of the crust.

Step 8

Bake the tomato pie in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling.

Step 9

Allow the pie to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Garnish with extra basil if desired.
