Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour 5 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 35 minutes

Ingredients
 

  • 4 vine ripened tomatoes
  • 1 prepared pie crust
  • 1 large Vidalia onion or other sweet onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons butter divided
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 pound bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese divided
  • 1 3/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup mayonnaise *See Note
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley divided
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 cup crushed Ritz crackers about 20 crackers

Instructions

Tomato Pie

  • Thinly slice tomatoes and layer them between paper towels on a plate to drain.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. If using store bought pie dough, allow it to come to room temperature before rolling into the pie plate.
  • In a skillet melt 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium heat. Add olive oil followed by the onions. Reduce heat to medium low and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Place the pie crust in a pie plate and using a fork, prick holes about an inch apart in the dough. Bake for 18-20 minutes until set and golden brown. See post for tips to help prevent it from shrinking while baking.
  • Remove onions from skillet and roughly chop.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the onions, bacon, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, Cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, basil, 2 tablespoons of the parsley, oregano, and pepper.
  • Remove pie crust from the oven. Starting with tomatoes, layer half of the tomatoes on the baked pie crust, slicing as necessary so as to not leave any empty spaces.
  • Spread half of the cheese and onion mixture over the tomatoes. Repeat with another layer of tomatoes followed by the rest of the cheese mixture.

Ritz Cracker Topping

  • Melt the remaining two tablespoons of butter in medium bowl and combine with Ritz crackers, remaining 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese, and remaining tablespoon of parsley. Scatter topping evenly over the pie.
  • Bake for 15 minutes.

Notes

  • Because the tomatoes and onion mixture have a lot of moisture, it is important to bake the pie crust beforehand to help prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • The recipe calls for 1 cup of mayonnaise, but you can use 3/4 - 1 cup depending on your taste. I love mayonnaise, but I prefer to make this with 3/4 cup.
