Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Thinly slice the Vidalia onions and sauté them in a skillet over medium heat until soft and lightly caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
Slice the tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt. Lay them out on paper towels to drain excess moisture while you prepare the other ingredients.
Place the pre-baked 9-inch pie crust on a baking sheet to catch any drips.
Layer the onions evenly on the bottom of the pie crust. Top them with a single even layer of sliced tomatoes. Tear the basil leaves and scatter them over the tomatoes.
In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, shredded cheddar cheese, and shredded mozzarella cheese. Stir until blended.
Spread the mayonnaise and cheese mixture evenly over the top of the pie, making sure to cover all the tomatoes.
Sprinkle with cracked black pepper for added flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow the pie to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
