Equipment

  • 9-inch Pie Pan
  • skillet
  • bowl
  • fork

Ingredients
  

For the Crust

  • 1 package refrigerated pie crust Consider homemade for a richer flavor.

For the Filling

  • 6 strips bacon cooked and crumbled, thick-cut is ideal for optimal taste.
  • 1 large sweet onion thinly sliced; opt for yellow or sweet onions for the best result.
  • 3 medium tomatoes sliced; use Roma or heirloom tomatoes to prevent sogginess.

For the Cheesy Topping

  • 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded; aged cheddar enhances depth and complexity.
  • ½ cup mozzarella cheese shredded; combining with cheddar creates a balanced taste.
  • ½ cup mayonnaise for a lighter touch, blend half with Greek yogurt.
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil chopped; or use 1 teaspoon dried basil.

For Seasoning

  • ½ teaspoon salt enhances all flavors in the dish.
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper adds a mild heat for balance.

Instructions
 

Method

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Fit the refrigerated pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan, then prick it with a fork to prevent puffing. Blind-bake for 8–10 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, fry the bacon until it’s crispy and golden. Remove it from the pan, crumble it into pieces, and set aside. Don't forget to reserve 1 tablespoon of those tasty drippings!
  • Using the same skillet and the reserved bacon drippings, add the sliced onions. Cook them over medium-low heat for about 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally until they're soft and golden brown.
  • Slice your tomatoes and sprinkle them with salt. Let them sit for about 10 minutes, then pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  • In the pre-baked pie crust, layer half of the crumbled bacon, half of the caramelized onions, and half of the tomato slices. Repeat these layers with the remaining ingredients.
  • In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, shredded cheddar, mozzarella, and chopped fresh basil (or dried). Spread this mixture evenly over the top of the assembled pie.
  • Place the pie in the oven and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the topping is bubbly and golden brown.
  • Let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
  • Garnish your delicious pie with fresh basil or parsley.
