Ingredients

• 1 piece Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
• 4 medium Tomatoes (sliced)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 8 slices Bacon (cooked and crumbled)
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves (chopped)
• 2 stalks Green onions (chopped)
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil (optional, for brushing crust)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim and crimp the edges as desired. You can brush the crust with olive oil for extra crispiness, if desired.

Step 3

Place the sliced tomatoes onto a large plate or baking sheet. Sprinkle them with 1 teaspoon of salt and let them sit for 10-15 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Pat them dry with a paper towel to prevent a soggy pie.

Step 4

Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Drain on paper towels and crumble into small pieces.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, mix together the shredded mozzarella, shredded cheddar, mayonnaise, garlic powder, black pepper, chopped basil, and chopped green onions until well combined.

Step 6

Layer half of the tomato slices evenly on the bottom of the prepared pie crust.

Step 7

Sprinkle half of the crumbled bacon over the tomatoes.

Step 8

Spread half of the cheese mixture over the bacon, spreading it to cover the layer evenly.

Step 9

Repeat the layers: add the remaining tomato slices, followed by the bacon, and then the rest of the cheese mixture.

Step 10

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.

Step 11

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with additional chopped basil or green onions, if desired.

Step 12

Serve warm and enjoy!
