Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • kosher salt
  • cracked black pepper
  • 3 large tomatoes, cored and cut into slices slightly thinner than 1/2 inch
  • unbaked 9-inch pie crust, preferably the rolled refrigerated kind
  • 10 basil leaves
  • extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 425 degrees F; line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  4. 4
    Spread the dough out on the prepared baking sheet and brush with about 1 tablespoon of the garlic mayonnaise all the way to the edge.
  5. 5
    Arrange about half the tomatoes on the dough, leaving a 2-inch border (tomatoes can overlap).
  6. 6
    Scatter basil over tomatoes.
  7. 7
    Made a second layer of tomatoes and basil.
  8. 8
    Fold the edges of the dough toward the center (will not cover filling); brush with garlic mayonnaise to help secure the folds in the crust.

    Drizzle a teaspoon of olive oil on the tomatoes and lightly season with salt and pepper.
  10. 10
    Bake until golden brown, about 30 to 40 minutes; let set for 30 minutes to allow tomato juices to redistribute.
