Instructions
- Set the sliced tomatoes into a colander or onto a plate and sprinkle with salt. Let drain at least 30 minutes to release excess moisture. Skipping this step could result in soggy tomato pie. Pat the sliced tomatoes dry with paper towels and set aside.
- Heat the oil in a small pan to medium heat and add the onion. Cook the onion to soften, 2-3 minutes, but do not brown. Cool slightly, then pat dry of excess moisture with paper towels. Set aside.
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F (175C).
- Set the pre-baked pie crust into a glass pie plate and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly browned. Remove and cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, mix together the reserved cooked onion with mayonnaise, cheeses, cornstarch, a few dashes of optional hot sauce, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Add a layer of sliced tomatoes and basil on the bottom of the pie crust, then half of the cheese mixture, then the remaining tomato slices and basil, then finish with the remaining cheese mixture.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese begins to brown.
- Rest for at least 20 minutes to cool and let the pie set, then garnish, slice and serve. You can serve it warm or room temperature.
Notes
- It is important to rest the tomato pie at least 20 minutes to cool and let the pie set. If you cut it too soon, it may be too loose and can fall apart. You can serve it warm or room temperature.
