Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate and crimp the edges if needed.
- For a sturdier bottom crust, prick the crust with a fork and bake for 7–8 minutes before filling.
- Thinly slice the zucchini, tomatoes, and onion.
- Lay the tomato slices on paper towels, sprinkle lightly with a pinch of the salt, and let sit for about 10 minutes.
- Blot the tomatoes dry to remove excess moisture.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the zucchini and onion and cook for 5–6 minutes, until slightly softened.
- Season the zucchini mixture with the remaining salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Spread the cooked zucchini and onion mixture into the pie crust.
- Layer the tomato slices over the top.
- In a small bowl, stir together the mozzarella, mayonnaise, and Parmesan cheese until thick and combined.
- Gently spread the cheese mixture over the vegetables.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, until the topping is golden and bubbly and the crust is cooked through.
- If the crust edges brown too quickly, cover them loosely with foil.
- Let the pie rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Fresh basil can be tucked between the tomato slices for extra garden flavor. Blotting the tomatoes helps keep the pie from becoming watery.
