Tomato Pie

 

  • 5 roma tomatoes, , peeled and sliced
  • 10 fresh basil, , chopped
  • 1/2 cup green onion, (or red onion), chopped
  • 1 9-inch pie crust
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup freshly shredded cheddar cheese
  • 3/4 cup mayo, (or half mayo, half Greek yogurt)
  • 2 Tablespoons parmesan cheese
  • Salt & Pepper
  •  

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place the tomatoes in a colander in the sink in a single layer. Sprinkle with salt and allow them to rest for 10 minutes.
  • Use a paper towel to pat-dry the tomatoes and make sure most of the excess juice is out. (You don't want wet (juicy) tomatoes or your pie will turn out soggy).
  • Layer the tomato slices, basil, and onion in pre-baked pie shell (see my note above in the post about how I prepare the pie crust.) Season with salt and pepper. 
  • Combine the grated cheeses and mayonnaise or Greek yogurt together. 
  • Spread mixture on top of the tomatoes and sprinkle parmesan cheese on top.
  • Bake for 30 minutes or until lightly browned. Allow to rest for at least 15 minutes before cutting and serving.
