Ingredients
- 3 tomatoes, medium size
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- ½ cup chopped basil
- 1 ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 pie crust, unbaked
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
- Press the pie crust into the pie dish and fill it with pie weights. Par bake the pie crust for 15 minutes in the oven then remove the pie weights and set the crust aside to cool.
- Put the tomato slices in a colander or strainer and sprinkle them with ½ teaspoon of the salt; toss the tomatoes in the salt. Let the tomatoes sit and drain for 10 minutes. This helps extract some of the juice from the tomatoes which will make the pie less soggy.
- Pour the drained tomato slices into a bowl and add the chopped basil, shredded cheese, balsamic, chopped garlic, remaining salt, and ground black pepper. Stir everything together then pour the mix into the par baked pie crust.
- Spread the mayonnaise over the top of the pie filling.
- Bake the pie for 30 minutes. The top will be golden brown.
- Let the pie cool then slice and serve.
Notes
You can also use 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and ½ cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.
