Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 1 package Refrigerated Pie Crust Substitute with homemade dough if desired.
For the Filling

  • 4 medium Tomatoes Ripe Roma or heirloom; drain well.
  • 1 cup Cheddar Cheese Shredded sharp cheddar or Gruyère for extra richness.
  • 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese Feel free to swap with other melty cheeses.
  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise Can be lightened with Greek yogurt.
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Basil or Dried Italian Seasoning Fresh basil preferred.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Adjust to taste.

Equipment

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Unroll the refrigerated pie crust and gently press it into a 9-inch pie dish.
  2. Blind-bake the crust for about 8 minutes until lightly golden. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. In a large skillet, cook the thick-cut bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 6–8 minutes. Crumble bacon into pieces.
  4. Leave 2 tablespoons of the drippings in the skillet and caramelize the sliced sweet onions for 10–15 minutes.
  5. Slice tomatoes and sprinkle with salt. Let them sit for 10 minutes, then pat dry.
  6. Layer half of the drained tomatoes, onions, and crumbled bacon in the pie crust. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
  7. In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, cheddar, mozzarella, basil, salt, and pepper. Mix until creamy.
  8. Spread the creamy topping over the pie and bake for 30–35 minutes or until bubbly and golden.
  9. Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
