Ultimate Tomato Pie
Ingredients
  • 1 (9 inch) refrigerated pie crust (such as Pillsbury®)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 5 Roma tomatoes, or more to taste, cut into wedges
  • 1 cup loosely packed basil leaves, coarsely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup fat-free mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper
  • 8 whole basil leaves
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a high temperature of 450 degrees Fahrenheit (230 degrees Celsius).
2
Take the pie crust and press it into a circular 9-inch pan or glass pie plate. Fold any excess dough underneath and press firmly to create a thick, sturdy edge. Cover the edges with aluminum foil.
3
Then bake in the preheated oven for approximately 10 to 12 minutes, or until it reaches a light brown color. Remove the pie from the oven and sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the bottom.
4
To avoid burning, decrease your oven temperature to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
5
Next, drain the excess moisture from your tomato wedges using a colander or paper towels. Arrange them over the mozzarella cheese.
6
Sprinkle some fresh basil and garlic on top of the tomatoes for added flavor. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, and white pepper.
7
Spread the cheesy mixture evenly over the tomatoes, but avoid spreading it onto the pie crust. Return the pie to the oven and bake until the top is golden brown and bubbly, taking around 35 to 40 minutes.
8
If necessary, cover the edges with a ring of foil to prevent overcooking. Once done, garnish your pie with whole basil leaves and serve warm.
