Ingredients
- 1 unit Deep-dish pie shell
- 4 large Ripe tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 3 stalks Green onions
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
Bake the pie shell according to package or recipe instructions until lightly golden, then set it aside to cool.
Step 3
Slice the ripe tomatoes into approximately 1/4-inch thick rounds. Remove any excess seeds and juices to prevent a soggy pie.
Step 4
Sprinkle the tomato slices evenly with salt, then place them on paper towels. Allow them to sit for about 10 minutes to draw out extra moisture.
Step 5
Meanwhile, chop the fresh basil leaves and green onions, and set them aside.
Step 6
In a medium bowl, mix shredded cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, and mayonnaise. Add freshly ground black pepper to taste, and stir until well combined.
Step 7
Layer the tomato slices evenly in the cooled pie shell. After each layer, sprinkle with the chopped basil and green onions, and lightly drizzle with olive oil over the top.
Step 8
Spread the cheese-mayonnaise mixture evenly over the layered tomatoes and herbs, covering completely to form a crust-like top.
Step 9
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Step 10
Remove the pie from the oven and let it rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing.
Step 11
Serve warm and enjoy your delightful tomato pie!
