Ingredients

Dough for single-crust pie

1-3/4 pounds mixed tomatoes, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch slices

1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

2 tablespoons minced fresh basil

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

2 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled

2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1 Preheat oven to 400°. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim crust to 1/2 in. beyond rim of plate.

2 Place half the tomatoes and half the green onion in crust. Combine mayonnaise, cheddar cheese, basil, salt and pepper; spread over tomatoes. Top with remaining green onion and tomatoes. Fold crust edge over filling, pleating as you go and leaving an 8-in. opening in center. Sprinkle with bacon and Parmesan cheese. Bake on a lower oven rack until crust is golden and filling is bubbly, 30-35 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting. If desired, sprinkle with additional basil.
