Ingredients:
1 pie crust
4 or 5 large tomatoes
Basil
1 onion
1 cup of mozzarella
1 cup other cheese...cheddar, Swiss, etc.
1 cup mayonnaise
Season salt or salt and pepper
Here's how it's made...
1 pie crust...you can make your own, but I'm a terrible pie crust maker...and lazy...so I get the rolled up kind in the refrigerated case at the store.
Line a 9 or 10 inch pie plate with the crust. Prick it gently all over, and bake at 350 for 10 min. or until it's lightly brown.
While the crust is baking, slice 4 or 5 large tomatoes...or more if they're smaller like mine were.
Lay the slices on paper towels to blot some of the excess juice.
When the crust is lightly brown, thinly slice one onion, and lay it in the bottom of the crust.
Layer the slices of tomato over the onion. Sprinkle with season salt, or salt and pepper, and add two or three torn basil leaves, between the layers of tomatoes.
Now, mix the cheese and mayonnaise together and spread over the top of the pie.
Bake at 350 for about 30 min. or until it's lightly browned.
Note:
You can use cheddar or similar cheese, with the mozzarella. When I made this one last night, I had swiss and mozzarella, but only about 1 and 3/4 cups, so I added grated Parmezan to make the 2 cups. Cheddar is prettier since it's yellow, but I just use what ever I have. I'm a spur of the moment cook, and improvise a lot.
I also use "light" mayonnaise to lower the fat content...just a little. LOL
Hope y'all enjoy the tomato pie. It's one of Hubby's favorites.
Hugs,
Babs

Love this recipe....I love everything that has to do with tomatoes and cheese!!!...
This sure does sound good! Pretty presentation too:@)
Hi Babs! I think I will have to try this recipe. It always helps to see a real photo of a recipe. How's Porch Lights going? I am getting ready to read Folly Beach next.
I'm saving this recipe...it sounds delicious!
That pie recipe looks good. I've never heard of a tomato pie before. It sort of reminds me of a margherita (sp?) pizza. We've noticed that our tomatoes are slowing down now. They are ripening before they get very big and some are just falling off the vine before we can even get them. We've had to throw alot out because we just have too many!
That looks so good Babs!!
I have never made tomato pie. I usually take dinner to my parents once or twice a week and I think they would love this. Definitely a keeper!
Looks delicious and so pretty on your cabbage leaf plate........sarah
Hello Babs, This is something new for me as I have never cooked with mayonnaise before. I love tomatoes so I am going to try this recipe.....a nice supper with a little green salad and crusty bread. Best Wishes Daphne

This sounds positively scrumptious, Babs--thank you for sharing your tomato pie recipe. It was so nice to hear from you over at my blog--so glad you liked the apricot-blueberry crisp recipe!
Oh my my husband would love this! I don't like fresh tomatoes...I know...shocking isn't it!! LOL
It's cooled off here and feeling great. Glad you are too!
Babs,
This sounds really good. Thank you for the recipe.
