- One 9-inch ready made pie shell
- 1/2 yellow or red onion, chopped
- 3-4 tomatoes, sliced
- 1/4 cup chopped basil (about 8 leaves)
- 2 cups shredded cheese (I use Mozzarella)
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Directions
1 Preheat oven to 350°F. Place pie shell in oven and cook for 8-10 minutes or longer until lightly golden. (If you are starting with a frozen crust, you'll need to cook it a little longer.)
2 Lay the sliced tomatoes on a paper towel to remove as much moisture as you can from the tomatoes.
3 Sprinkle the bottom of the pre-cooked pie shell with chopped onion. Spread the chopped tomatoes over the onions. Sprinkle the sliced basil over the tomatoes.
4 In a medium bowl, mix together cheese, mayo, hot sauce. Season with salt and black pepper. Spread the cheese mixture over the tomatoes.
5 Place in oven and bake 30 minutes or until browned and bubbly.
