Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 4 medium Tomatoes (sliced)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 8 slices Bacon (cooked and crumbled)
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves (chopped)
- 2 stalks Green onions (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil (optional, for brushing crust)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim and crimp the edges as desired. You can brush the crust with olive oil for extra crispiness, if desired.
Place the sliced tomatoes onto a large plate or baking sheet. Sprinkle them with 1 teaspoon of salt and let them sit for 10-15 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Pat them dry with a paper towel to prevent a soggy pie.
Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Drain on paper towels and crumble into small pieces.
In a medium bowl, mix together the shredded mozzarella, shredded cheddar, mayonnaise, garlic powder, black pepper, chopped basil, and chopped green onions until well combined.
Layer half of the tomato slices evenly on the bottom of the prepared pie crust.
Sprinkle half of the crumbled bacon over the tomatoes.
Spread half of the cheese mixture over the bacon, spreading it to cover the layer evenly.
Repeat the layers: add the remaining tomato slices, followed by the bacon, and then the rest of the cheese mixture.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with additional chopped basil or green onions, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
