- ¼ cup chopped fresh basil
- 2 cups grated cheese , I mix half cheddar and mozzarella
- ⅔ cup mayonnaise
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions
- Prep tomatoes: Begin by slicing 4-5 ripe tomatoes and laying them out on a couple of paper towels. Sprinkle them lightly with salt to remove excess moisture. Let them sit for about 10 minutes, then gently pat them dry with another paper towel.
- Preheat oven: Preheat to 375°F.
- Roll: Roll out the pie crust and then place in a pie dish. Crimp the edges. Poke the bottom of the crust with a fork. Place in the oven and par-bake for 10 minutes.
- Layer: Place the tomatoes, 2-3 sliced green onions and 1/4 cup chopped basil into the pie crust. Season the top with salt and pepper.
- Combine: Mix together 2/3 cup mayo, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning and 2 cups cheese in a bowl. Gently spread on top of the tomatoes.
- Bake: Turn oven to 350°F and then bake pie for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to set for 15 minutes on a cooling rack. Slice and serve warm.
