Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 refrigerated 9-inch pie crust
  • 6 strips turkey bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 1 large sweet onion thinly sliced
  • 3 medium ripe tomatoes sliced (about 2 cups)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Equipment

  • 9-inch pie pan
  • Skillet
  • Mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  2. Fit pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan and blind bake for 8 minutes.
  3. Cook turkey bacon until crisp. Set aside to cool, then crumble into pieces.
  4. In the same skillet, add butter or oil and caramelize the thinly sliced onion until golden, about 7 minutes.
  5. Layer half of the sliced tomatoes in the pre-baked crust, followed by the caramelized onions and crumbled turkey bacon. Top with remaining tomato slices.
  6. In a bowl, mix together cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, mayonnaise, basil, salt, and pepper.
  7. Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the layered ingredients, reaching to the edges.
  8. Bake until bubbly and golden brown on top.
  9. Let cool slightly before slicing to allow the filling to set.

Notes

Use the ripest tomatoes you can find for best flavor. Vidalia onions are preferred for their natural sweetness, but yellow onions work well too. Regular bacon can be substituted for turkey bacon. The cheese blend can be customized with alternatives like Gruyère or Monterey Jack. For best results, don't skip the blind baking step as it prevents a soggy crust.
