Savory Tomato Pie

Ingredients

Pie crust

1, store-bought or homemade

Tomatoes

4 cups, sliced (about 4-5 medium tomatoes)

Salt

1 teaspoon (for seasoning tomatoes)

Fresh basil

1/2 cup, chopped

Green onions

1/2 cup, sliced

Pepper

1/4 teaspoon, or to taste

Mayonnaise

1/2 cup

Mozzarella cheese

1 cup, shredded

Cheddar cheese

1 cup, shredded

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and set aside.
3. Lay the tomato slices out on paper towels to drain excess moisture, then sprinkle with salt and let them sit for about 10 minutes. This helps to concentrate their flavor and keep the pie from becoming soggy.
4. Layer the drained tomato slices, followed by the chopped basil and sliced green onions in the prepared pie crust.
5. In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, and pepper. Stir until well blended.
6. Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the tomato layers in the pie crust.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly, and the pie is heated through.
8. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
