Ingredients

1 single pie crust
2-1/2 lbs fresh tomatoes
salt
8 slices bacon chopped
1/2 onion chopped
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 cups shredded white cheddar cheese
1/2 cup real mayonnaise
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
1 egg
chopped fresh basil

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 and place pie crust into a pie pan, fluting edges, and set aside.
Slice tomatoes into 1/2" slices and place on a paper towel lined baking sheet. Season with salt. If all tomatoes will not fit on a single layer, place more paper towel on top and place additional tomatoes on this paper towel. Let stand for 10 minutes for paper towel to absorb some of the water.
In a skillet, combine bacon, onions and garlic and cook until bacon is no longer pink. Drain grease and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, add cheese, bacon and onion mixture, mayo, mustard and egg and mix well.
Layer 1/3 of the cheese mixture into the bottom of the crust.
Follow with half of the tomatoes, overlapping slightly and repeat, ending with cheese mixture on top. Bake for 40-45 minutes.
Top with chopped fresh basil before serving.
