Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 tomatoes (medium sized or 3 large)
  • pie crust (9 inch deep dish)
  • ¼ cup fresh basil (chopped)
  • ⅓ cup green onions (chopped)
  • 1 cup mozarella (shredded)
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
  • ¾ cup mayonnaise

Instruction

  • Slice tomatoes about ¼ inch thick. Then slice tomato slices in half. Spread on a paper towel. Sprinkle the tomatoes liberally with salt to sweat out the extra liquid. Set out 30 minutes, then pat them dry.
  • Bake deep dish pie crust at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Remove from oven.
  • Add sliced tomatoes, overlapping them to fit in the pie shell.
  • Top tomato slices with chopped green onions and chopped basil.
  • In a mixing bowl, mix mayonnaise, mozzarella, and cheddar cheese.
  • Spread cheese mixture over the top of the pie.
  • Add 5 sliced tomatoes on the top. (This is for a pretty presentation and is optional. You can skip this step if you do not want to add the sliced tomatoes on top.)
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 40 to 45 minutes.
  • It is best to rest 20 to 30 minutes before serving. This allows the pie to set. You can serve it warm or at room temperature. You can also eat it cold.
