Top-Rated Tomato Pie

Top-Rated Tomato Pie layers sweet, juicy Roma tomatoes with fragrant basil and a melty blend of mozzarella and Parmesan, all tucked into a flaky crust. A creamy mayo-Parmesan topping bakes to a golden finish, giving every bite a rich, tangy contrast to the fresh tomatoes. Serve warm or at room temperature for summer lunches, light dinners, or a standout potluck dish.

Top-Rated Tomato Pie
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Press the pie crust into a 9-inch round pan or glass pie plate; fold the extra dough under and press to make a thick edge. Cover the edges with aluminum foil.

  3. 3

    Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Sprinkle 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese over the bottom. Reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  4. 4

    Drain the tomato wedges in a colander or on paper towels; arrange them over the mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle with the chopped basil and garlic.

  5. 5

    Combine the remaining 1 cup mozzarella cheese, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, and white pepper in a bowl; spread over the tomatoes but do not spread onto the crust.

  6. 6

    Bake in the preheated oven until golden and bubbly, 35 to 40 minutes. Garnish with whole basil leaves and serve warm.
