Ingredients

• 2 large Vidalia onions
• 3 medium Ripe tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 9-inch pre-baked Pie crust
• 1 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 6 leaves Fresh basil leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon Cracked black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Place the pre-baked 9-inch pie crust on a baking sheet to catch any drips.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, shredded cheddar cheese, and shredded mozzarella cheese. Stir until blended.

Step 7

Spread the mayonnaise and cheese mixture evenly over the top of the pie, making sure to cover all the tomatoes.

Step 8

Sprinkle with cracked black pepper for added flavor.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and golden brown.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and allow the pie to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
