Ingredients

  • 1 pre-baked pie crust

  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Arrange sliced tomatoes on paper towels, sprinkle with salt, and let sit for 10–15 minutes. Pat dry.
  3. Layer tomatoes in the pre-baked pie crust.
  4. Sprinkle with black pepper, basil, and green onions.
  5. Repeat layers if needed.
  6. In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, mozzarella, cheddar, and garlic powder.

Notes

  • Drain tomatoes well to prevent a watery pie.
  • Use ripe but firm tomatoes for best texture.
  • Add cooked bacon or caramelized onions for variation.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in the oven to maintain crust texture.
