Description
A savory southern-style Bacon Onion Tomato Pie layered with juicy tomatoes, caramelized onions, smoky bacon, and a creamy cheese filling, all baked in a buttery pie crust for the perfect comfort dish.
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch pie crust, pre-baked
- 5 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 3 medium tomatoes, sliced and drained on paper towels
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and crumble. Leave about 1 tablespoon of bacon fat in the pan.
- Add sliced onions to the pan and cook over medium heat until soft and lightly caramelized, about 8–10 minutes. Set aside.
- Layer the pie crust with half of the tomato slices, followed by half of the onions and bacon.
- Repeat the layers with remaining tomatoes, onions, and bacon. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and basil.
- In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, sour cream, cheddar, mozzarella, and garlic powder until well combined.
- Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the top layer of tomatoes and bacon.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
- Cool for 10–15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Drain tomatoes well to avoid a soggy crust.
- Use a store-bought or homemade pie crust.
- Substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream for a lighter version.
- Perfect as a brunch dish, side, or light dinner.
