Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 roma tomatoes (, peeled and sliced)
10 fresh basil leaves (, chopped)
1/2 cup green onion ((or red onion), chopped)
1 9-inch pre-baked pie crust
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup freshly shredded cheddar cheese
3/4 cup mayonnaise ((or half mayo, half Greek yogurt))
2 Tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese
salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place the tomatoes in a colander in the sink in a single layer. Sprinkle with salt and allow them to rest for 10 minutes.
  • Use a paper towel to pat-dry the tomatoes and make sure most of the excess juice is out. (You don't want wet (juicy) tomatoes or your pie will turn out soggy).
  • Layer the tomato slices, basil, and onion in pre-baked pie shell (see my note above in the post about how I prepare the pie crust.) Season with salt and pepper.
  • Combine the grated cheeses and mayonnaise or Greek yogurt together.
  • Spread mixture on top of the tomatoes and sprinkle parmesan cheese on top.
  • Bake for 30 minutes or until lightly browned. Allow to rest for at least 15 minutes before cutting and serving.

Time 4h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 to 4 ripe tomatoes (about 3 pounds), thinly sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
1/2 small sweet onion, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1 rolled 9-inch pie crust, store-bought or homemade
1 cup freshly grated sharp Cheddar
1 cup freshly grated mozzarella
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, torn, plus small leaves for garnish

Steps:

  • Arrange the tomato and onion slices in a single layer on a paper towel-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with salt. Let sit for 1 to 2 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Fit the pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate and crimp the edges. Prick the bottom and sides with a fork. Line the crust with aluminum foil and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until the edges of the crust are just golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the foil and weights and continue to bake until the bottom of the crust is dry and brown, another 15 to 20 minutes. Cool completely.
  • Mix together the Cheddar, mozzarella and mayonnaise in a medium bowl. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few cracks of black pepper.
  • Transfer the tomatoes and onions to a dry paper towel and pat dry. Liberally season the tomatoes with cracked black pepper. Arrange a third of the tomatoes in a single layer in the pie crust, overlapping slightly. Sprinkle a third of the basil over the tomatoes and top with a third of the onions. Repeat twice with the remaining tomatoes, basil and onions. Spread the mayonnaise mixture over the top of the onions.
  • Bake until the topping is golden brown and bubbling, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool completely. Garnish with basil leaves. Serve at room temperature.
