Ingredients

• 1 piece Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
• 4 large Ripe tomatoes
• 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

If using a store-bought pie crust, press it into a 9-inch pie pan. If using homemade, roll it out and fit it into the pan, trimming the edges as needed.

Step 3

Blind bake the crust. Line it with parchment paper or foil and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove the weights and bake for another 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Step 4

Slice the tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick slices. Lay them on a paper towel-lined surface and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of salt to draw out excess moisture. Let them sit for 10 minutes, then pat dry with additional paper towels.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, mix the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, black pepper, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt until well combined.

Step 6

Layer the tomato slices evenly in the cooled pie crust. Sprinkle half of the basil leaves over the tomatoes.

Step 7

Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the top of the tomatoes, ensuring the surface is fully covered.

Step 8

Drizzle the olive oil over the cheese layer and add the remaining basil leaves on top for garnish.

Step 9

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese layer is bubbly and golden brown.

Step 10

Allow the pie to cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
