The Best Damn Tomato Pie

Prep time: 00:10

Cook time: 00:45

Main Ingredients

1 deep dish frozen pie shell

4 red, ripe tomatoes (beefsteaks work great)

10 fresh basil leaves, torn or sliced into strips

1 clove minced garlic (or more, depending on your taste)

1 cup mayonnaise

1 cup shredded mozzarella

1 cup shredded cheddar

1/2 cup shredded parmesan

Recipe Steps

Wash the tomatoes and pat dry. Using a sharp knife, slice tomatoes about 1/4"-1/2" thick. If you want to eliminate some of the moisture from the tomatoes, place slices in a colander and salt lightly. Let stand in the fridge for about an hour or two. Lightly shake out the excess moisture, and pat dry gently with paper towels.

1. Parbake the pie shell in a 350 degree oven (about 10 mins), or according to package directions.
2. While the pie shell bakes, in a bowl combine the basil, garlic, mayonnaise and cheeses. Stir well. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Remove the pie shell from the oven. Place the tomato slices evenly in the bottom of the shell, about 2/3rds high. Top with the combined ingredients and spread across the pie evenly.
4. Place the finished pie back in the oven for 30 minutes. It will be golden brown and bubbly.
