Instructions

About 4-6 hours before baking (or ideally the night before), place the diced tomatoes in a sieve or strainer over a bowl and sprinkle generously with the salt. Stir to combine. Allow the tomatoes to drain off their liquid, stirring occasionally and gently pressing down on the tomatoes (use a large spoon or a small flat bowl to press the tomatoes against the sieve), until the tomatoes are very well drained. Blot with a paper towel if necessary to remove extra moisture.
While the tomatoes are draining, pre-bake your pie crust. (See instructions here)
When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Spread the diced onion in the bottom of the pie crust. Spread the well-drained tomatoes over the onions, then sprinkle the basil over the tomatoes.
In a medium bowl, combine the grated cheese, mayonnaise, hot sauce and a generous grind of black pepper. Mix to combine (the mixture will be very thick). Spread the cheese mixture over the tomatoes in the pie plate.
Bake in the oven until golden brown and bubbly – approximately 25-35 minutes.
Let sit for 10-15 minutes to firm up before serving.
