Ingredients

• 1 piece 9-inch pie crust
• 4 large ripe tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 10 pieces fresh basil leaves
• 3 stalks green onions
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Poke the bottom of the crust several times with a fork, then bake for 8-10 minutes, or until slightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool.

Step 2

Slice the tomatoes into roughly 1/4-inch thick slices, and lay them out in a single layer on a kitchen towel or paper towels. Sprinkle the kosher salt over the tomatoes to draw out excess moisture. Let them sit for about 10-15 minutes, then gently pat them dry with additional towels.

Step 3

While the tomatoes are draining, finely chop the basil leaves and slice the green onions (both white and green parts).

Step 4

Layer half of the tomato slices into the baked pie crust. Sprinkle half of the chopped basil and green onions over the tomatoes. Repeat with the remaining tomato slices, basil, and green onions.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, shredded cheddar cheese, and shredded mozzarella cheese. Mix until well blended.

Step 6

Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the top of the layered tomatoes, forming a thick, smooth layer.

Step 7

Sprinkle the black pepper evenly over the cheese topping. Optionally, drizzle a small amount of olive oil on top for added flavor.

Step 8

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese topping is bubbly and lightly browned.

Step 9

Remove the tomato pie from the oven and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
