Recipe type: Seasonal/Side Dish
Serves: 8-10 slices
Ingredients
  • 1 store-bought frozen deep dish pie crust
  • 5-6 tomatoes, sliced ⅕-1/4 inch thick
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 10-12 basil leaves, chopped
  • 1 large clove garlic, zested or finely crushed
  • 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese
  • ¾ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ⅛ tsp ground black pepper
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Poke holes in the pie crust with a fork and bake it for 12 minutes.
  3. Turn the oven down to 350 degrees.
  4. While the pie crust is baking, slice tomatoes and put them on paper towels (I triple mine up.) Sprinkle with the tsp of salt and let the liquid seep out of the tomatoes. After 10-15 minutes. Take more paper towels and press down on the tomatoes, squeezing out more juice, if possible.
  5. Next, arrange the tomatoes into the bottom of the pie crust until the crust is half full.
  6. Combine the chopped basil and zested garlic and sprinkle it over the tomatoes.
  7. Add more tomatoes until the pie crust is full.
  8. In a separate bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, onion powder, and black pepper and mix it well.
  9. Spread the cheese mixture on top of the tomatoes.
  10. Bake pie for 30 minutes.
  11. Let sit for 15-20 minutes before slicing.
  12. Serve and Enjoy!
