How to Make Bacon Onion Tomato Pie
- 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.
