Ingredients

• 1 piece Pre-made pie crust
• 3 medium Fresh tomatoes
• 1 cup Fresh basil leaves
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Roll out the pre-made pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish, trimming any excess around the edges. Use a fork to prick the bottom of the crust to prevent it from puffing up during baking.

Step 3

Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

While the crust is baking, slice the fresh tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Lay the slices on a paper towel and sprinkle lightly with salt to help draw out excess moisture. Let them sit for 10 minutes, then gently pat them dry with another paper towel.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix together the shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, and mayonnaise until well combined. Set aside.

Step 6

Once the crust has cooled slightly, layer the tomato slices evenly across the bottom of the crust. Sprinkle with black pepper and drizzle with olive oil.

Step 7

Tear the fresh basil leaves into smaller pieces and scatter them over the tomatoes, covering evenly.

Step 8

Spread the cheese and mayonnaise mixture over the basil and tomatoes, ensuring the top is completely covered.

Step 9

Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.

Step 10

Remove the pie from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
