Tomato-Basil Pie
1 recipe of your favorite pie crust, or frozen prepared pie crust for
one 9
inch (25 cm) pie
4 to 6 medium-sized ripe tomatoes, sliced 1/4 inch (5 mm) thick
1/4 cup (60 ml) roughly chopped basil leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1+1/2 cup (375 ml) mayonnaise
1+1/2 cup shredded white cheddar, Monterey Jack, or cheese of your
choice
Bake the pie crust empty in a 350F (180C) oven for 10 minutes, then
allow
to cool. Place a layer of tomato slices in the bottom, sprinkle with
some
of the basil, and add salt and pepper to taste. Repeat until the pie is
filled to about 1/2 inch (1 cm) to 1/4 inch (5 mm) of the rim. Mix the
mayonnaise and cheese together and spoon over the tomatoes, spreading it
evenly over the contents of the pie. Bake in a 350F (180C) oven for 30
minutes. Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serves 4
to 6.
