Savor summer with a flavorful tomato pie featuring ripe Romas, fragrant basil, gooey mozzarella, garlic, and Parmesan.
Ingredients:
  • 1 (9 inch) refrigerated pie crust (such as Pillsbury®)
  • 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 5 Roma tomatoes, or more to taste, cut into wedges
  • 1 cup loosely packed basil leaves, coarsely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 0.5 cup fat-free mayonnaise
  • 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 0.125 teaspoon ground white pepper
  • 8 whole basil leaves
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to a toasty 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Gently mold pie crust into a 9-inch round pan or glass pie plate, tucking any excess dough underneath to create a thick edge. Shield the edges with aluminum foil.
  • Bake until golden, for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese over the crust, then lower the oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Drain the tomato wedges and place them on top of the mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle with basil and garlic.
  • In a mixing bowl, mix 1 cup of mozzarella cheese with mayonnaise, Parmesan, and white pepper. Spread the mixture evenly over the tomatoes, leaving the crust untouched.
  • Continue baking in the oven until the top turns golden and bubbly, approximately 35 to 40 minutes. If necessary, shield the edges with foil to prevent overcooking. Decorate the pie with whole basil leaves and serve it warm.
