Take your tomato slices and spread them across paper towels set on your counter. Don’t let them touch. Spread them out. Lightly grate sea salt on top. Let them sit at least 15 minutes or up to 30.

Bake your crust in a pie pan or a nine inch tart pan with a removable bottom. This will take less than 12 minutes depending on the recipe.

When the hot crust comes out of the oven spread on quarter cup of the grated mozzarella. You just want a few shreds to cover the bottom of the crust.

Let cool.

In a saute pan, melt the butter and put in your leeks or onion. Saute just until loosened. If you are in a hurry you can just spread the onion on the bottom of the crust and put the butter bits on top. Sprinkle on your garlic powder.

Put on a layer of tomato slices. Then sprinkle on the basil. If you are using a tart pan it’s probably going to be just one layer of tomato slices. If it’s a pie pan you’ll likely have a second layer of tomato. Grate on sea salt and pepper to taste.

Then combine the rest of the cheeses and the mayo in a small bowl. Top the tomatoes with this mixture and spread it to the edges.

Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees or until the top is lightly browned.

Let it set out of the oven for five to ten minutes so you don’t burn your mouth. This also makes it easier to cut and hold together well.

Serve warm.
