Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion; cook until lightly browned on the edges (about 6 minutes). Transfer onion to a large bowl and set aside to cool completely.
- Line 2 baking sheets with paper towels. Place sliced tomatoes in a single layer on the paper towels. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt. Allow to sit for 30 minutes to remove some of the moisture, then pat dry with additional paper towels.
- Once the onion is cool, stir in Swiss cheese, 1 cup of the cheddar, mayonnaise, basil, pepper, egg, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Spread half of the mayonnaise mixture in the bottom of the prepared crust. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon bread crumbs.
- Arrange half of the tomatoes on top. Repeat with another layer of the mayonnaise mixture, another layer of breadcrumbs, and another layer of tomatoes.
- Sprinkle remaining ½ cup of cheddar cheese over top.
- Bake in a 350°F oven for about 45 minutes, or until brown and bubbly.
- Cut into slices and serve warm or at room temperature. I find that it's easiest to slice when I allow the pie to rest for at least 20 minutes being cutting into it.
Notes
- Garnish the pie with additional chopped fresh herbs, such as fresh basil leaves or parsley, or with sliced green onions.
- Cover the edges of the crust with thin strips of aluminum foil if they start to get too dark before the pie is done baking.
- Season the cheese mixture with garlic powder for even more savory flavor.
- Add a dollop of Dijon mustard to the mayo mixture for a more complex, zesty flavor.
- Add cooked, crumbled bacon to the layers in the pie for rich, smoky, hearty flavor.
