Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 2 quart pie dish. Fit Pie Crust into Pie Dish, prick some holes at the bottom with a fork and bake in pre-heated oven for ten minutes. Line pre-baked pie crust bottom with a layer of the Heirloom tomatoes topping with half of the thinly sliced red onion, garlic, thyme, oregano, shredded mozzarella and Romano cheeses, and the goat cheese. Prepare a second layer using the same process beginning with the Heirloom Tomatoes. Sprinkle the garlic powder, salt and pepper across the pie then fresh basil. Bake at 350 degrees for approximately thirty minutes until the cheeses are melted, slightly bubbling and the pie is steaming hot. Serve warm or at room temperature.
