Ingredients

• 1 unit Premade pie crust (or homemade)
• 3 medium Heirloom tomatoes
• 2 medium Zucchini
• 1 tsp Salt
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 unit Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup Fresh basil leaves, chopped
• 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 unit Eggs, beaten
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Breadcrumbs

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Roll out the premade pie crust and press it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim the edges if needed. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.

Step 3

Slice the heirloom tomatoes and zucchini into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Lay the slices on paper towels, sprinkle with 1 tsp salt, and let them sit for 10-15 minutes to draw out moisture.

Step 4

Pat the tomatoes and zucchini dry with additional paper towels to prevent a soggy pie.

Step 5

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant but not browned. Remove from heat.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sautéed garlic, chopped basil, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, beaten eggs, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 7

Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the bottom of the chilled pie crust. This will help absorb any excess moisture.

Step 8

Layer half of the tomato and zucchini slices in the crust, slightly overlapping. Spread half of the cheese mixture on top. Repeat with the remaining tomato and zucchini slices, followed by the rest of the cheese mixture.

Step 9

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.

Step 10

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing.

Step 11

Garnish with additional fresh basil if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
