Ingredients
  

1 pre-made pie crust (store-bought or homemade)

4 large ripe tomatoes, sliced

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup ricotta cheese

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon olive oil

Optional: Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    If using a homemade pie crust, roll it out and place it in a pie dish. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling. Pre-bake the crust for 10 minutes until lightly golden, then let it cool slightly.

      In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, mayonnaise, chopped basil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well blended.

        Spread the ricotta mixture evenly over the pre-baked pie crust.

          Layer the sliced tomatoes over the ricotta mixture, overlapping slightly to fit. Drizzle the olive oil over the top of the tomatoes.

            Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly across the tomato layer.

              Finish with the grated Parmesan cheese on top.

                Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Let it cool for about 10 minutes before slicing.
