Ingredients
  

  • 1 package Pillsbury Pie Crusts
  • 2 cups campari tomatoes diced
  • 1/2 cup white onion diced
  • 1/4 cup pimentos diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 strips cooked bacon chopped
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon fresh basil chopped
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1/2 cup Mozzarella cheese shredded
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine tomatoes, onion, pimentos, garlic, bacon, mayonnaise, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, fresh basil, salt, and pepper and mix until well combined.
  • On a clean work surface, roll out your pie crust. Using a round object like a cup, cut a circle in your dough that’s slightly larger than the size of each individual muffin inserts.
  • Place the cut dough into each muffin insert and lightly pierce the dough with a fork on the bottom.
  • Drain any excess liquid from your tomato pie mixture then fill each pie crust cup with the mixture, distributing it evenly.
  • Sprinkle each mini tomato pie with shredded cheddar cheese for a delectable cheesy topping.
  • Bake the mini tomato pies in the preheated oven for about 15-18 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Remove the mini tomato pies from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves for a touch of freshness and added visual appeal.
  • Serve these bite-sized delights warm or at room temperature, allowing your guests to savor the burst of juicy tomato goodness and the delicate, buttery crust with every bite.
