Best Tomato Pie

Servings:

This best tomato pie recipe makes a cheesy tomato pie with basil, which is a summer staple at my house. I always make two — one for me and one to give away. I use fat-free mayonnaise to cut down on oiliness and calories.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  2. 2 Press pie crust into a 9-inch round pan or glass pie plate; fold excess dough under and press to form a thick edge. Cover edges with aluminum foil.
  3. 3 Bake in the preheated oven until light brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Sprinkle ½ cup mozzarella cheese over bottom. Reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  4. 4 Drain tomato wedges in a colander or on paper towels; arrange over mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle with chopped basil and garlic.
  5. 5 Combine remaining 1 cup mozzarella cheese, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, and white pepper in a bowl; spread over tomatoes but do not spread onto crust.
  6. 6 Bake in the preheated oven until golden and bubbly, 35 to 40 minutes. Garnish with whole basil leaves and serve warm.
