Ingredients

1 9-inch pie pastry
3 tomatoes , thinly sliced
2 teaspoons salt
3 cloves garlic , minced
0.25 cups chopped fresh basil
0.5 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
0.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
0.25 cups mayonnaise

Instructions

1 Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Press pie pastry into a 9-inch pie pan; prick the bottom and sides with a fork.
2 Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool completely; reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
3 While the crust is cooling, place tomato slices in a single layer in a colander; sprinkle with salt. Let sit for about 10 minutes to release moisture. Blot excess moisture with a paper towel.
4 Arrange 1/2 of the tomatoes in a layer over the bottom of the cooled crust, overlapping the slices. Sprinkle with 1/2 each of the garlic, basil, Cheddar, and mozzarella. Repeat layers once more, then spread mayonnaise over the top.
5 Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and bubbling, about 30 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
