Terrific Tuesday With Recipes!

What to do with the bounty of tomatoes that we're having this summer?  I stumbled across this recipe yesterday and can't wait to try it.

Tomato Pie



Ingredients

  • 3 medium sized tomatoes
  • 6 large fresh basil leaves (if you don't have fresh, use 2 teaspoons dried)
  • 1 +1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup mayo
  • 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 pie crust, baked but not browned

Instructions

  1. Cut tomatoes into slices.
  2. Place in colander and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon table salt. Allow to drain for ten minutes (can skip this step if you like).
  3. Arrange 1/2 of tomato slices in baked pie crust. Top with 1/2 of kosher salt, 1/2 of pepper, 1/2 of basil, 1/2 of vinegar, and 1/2 of cheese.
  4. Repeat.
  5. Spread mayo over top of pie. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until lightly browned.
