Tomato Ham Pie

This is another Publix Apron simple meals recipe. I had tried it at the Publix sample counter. I made a couple of changes to the recipe. It still needs a little tweaking, but it was definitely delicious! Next time I need to cut the tomatoes and onion thinner and possibly add more basil.

Tomato Ham Pie
Ingredients:
4 medium tomatoes (sliced in 1/4 in thick pieces)
1 oz basil coarsely chopped
thin sliced ham
1 frozen prepared pie crust
1/4 cup Italian-style bread crumbs
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
salt and pepper to taste
1/3 cup light mayo
1/3 cup cream cheese
1 head of garlic
half a small yellow onion, thinly sliced
dried basil and oregano
extra virgin olive oil

Procedure:
1. Peel off most of the skin of the garlic leaving one or two layers. Pour the olive oil on the head of garlic making sure it is mostly covered in oil.
2. Place the head of garlic in the oven on a baking pan and bake at 350F for approximately 10 minutes or until the garlic becomes very soft and mashable.
3. Peel the rest of the skin off the garlic and mash and the garlic. Then mix the mashed garlic with the cream cheese. Add the dried basil and oregano to the garlic-cream cheese mixture until you are satisfied with the flavor.
4. Place the pie crust on a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes at 400F or until lightly browned.
5. Combine bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese; sprinkle 2 tbsp over bottom of crust. Layer with some of the tomatoes and onion, sprinkle with salt and pepper.
6. Combine the garlic-cream cheese mixture with the mayo and spread half of the mixture over the tomatoes and onion.
7. Place the slices of ham evenly over the tomatoes and onion.
8. Add another layer of tomato and onion. Evenly spread the coarsely chopped basil over the tomatoes and onions, spread the rest of the garlic-cream cheese-mayo mixture, and place some more ham slices evenly over everything.
9. Top everything with the rest of the bread crumb/Parmesan cheese mixture.
10. Bake for 20-25 minutes.
