Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece prepared pie crust
- 4 medium ripe tomatoes
- 1.5 cups mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cups fresh basil leaves
- 4 whole garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.25 cups mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the prepared pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, crimping the edges if desired. Pre-bake the crust for 7-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove and set aside.
Slice the tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Lay them on a paper towel-lined surface and sprinkle lightly with salt. Let them sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Pat the tomatoes dry with additional paper towels to avoid a soggy pie.
While the tomatoes are resting, finely chop the basil leaves and mince the garlic cloves.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, minced garlic, chopped basil, and olive oil. Mix well. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
In the pre-baked pie crust, layer half of the tomato slices evenly. Spread half of the cheese mixture over the tomatoes. Repeat with the remaining tomato slices and cheese mixture, finishing with the cheese on top.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with extra fresh basil, if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
