Ingredients

• 4 ripe tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 vegan pie crust
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
• 0.5 cup dairy-free mayonnaise
• 0.25 cup nutritional yeast
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
• 0.5 cup breadcrumbs

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Slice the tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick slices. Sprinkle them with 1 teaspoon of salt and place on paper towels to drain excess moisture.

Step 3

Blind bake the vegan pie crust according to package instructions until lightly golden. Set aside to cool.

Step 4

In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and continue to cook for another 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 5

Pat the tomato slices dry with a paper towel and layer a third of them into the bottom of the cooled pie crust.

Step 6

In a medium bowl, mix together the sautéed onions and garlic, chopped basil, dairy-free mayonnaise, nutritional yeast, black pepper, and dijon mustard.

Step 7

Spread half of the mayonnaise mixture over the first layer of tomatoes, then repeat layering with half of the remaining tomatoes.

Step 8

Top with the rest of the mayonnaise mixture, then with the final third of the tomato slices.

Step 9

Sprinkle breadcrumbs evenly over the top of the pie.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the pie is heated through.

Step 11

Allow the pie to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Garnish with additional fresh basil if desired.
