Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons salt
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 tomatoes, thinly sliced
• 1 recipe pastry for a single 9-inch pie crust
• 0.5 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 0.25 cup chopped fresh basil
• 0.5 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.25 cup mayonnaise

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and bubbling, about 30 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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).

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.
