★ Instructions
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C).
Prepare Pie Shell
Sprinkle 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar in the bottom of the frozen pie shell.
Pre-bake the crust for 5 minutes, then remove from oven.
Layer Tomatoes and Basil
Place sliced tomatoes and chopped fresh basil evenly into the pre-baked pie shell.
Make Cheese Mixture
In a bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, cheddar, and mozzarella cheeses.
Top the Pie
Spread the cheese and mayo mixture over the tomatoes in an even layer.
Bake
Bake for 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
💡 Tip: For the best flavor, use ripe, juicy tomatoes and Duke’s mayonnaise if available — it’s a Southern staple!
