Living in the south, we are so blessed to have so many fresh fruits and vegetables. Having so many means coming up with creative ways to prepare them. This recipe is a favorite for those who love fresh tomatoes.
Ingredients:
1 can of biscuits (about 6) or
1 can of croissant rolls
2 medium tomatoes
2 green onions
Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp. chopped garlic
Cajun seasoning
1 (8 oz) pkg shredded mozzarella cheese
mayonnaise
Directions:
Place uncooked biscuits one at a time in the bottom of a deep-dish pie pan and press together until they cover the bottom of the pan. Slice tomatoes into quarters, arrange a layer on top of biscuits. Sprinkle with onions, Italian seasoning, chopped garlic and cajun seasoning. Put remaining biscuits on top. In a separate bowl, mix cheese and just enough mayo to make it spreadable. Put mixture on top. Bake about 25 minutes at 400 degrees F.
Note: You can peel your tomatoes before hand if you wish. Just depends on your diet.

Article: Summer Tomato Pie (08/03/2009)
Since this is "Tomato" week at Thrifty Fun, I thought I'd submit an unusual and delicious dish using tomatoes as the main ingredient.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place the tomatoes in 1 layer in a colander in the sink. Sprinkle with salt and allow to stand for 10 minutes. Layer the tomato slices, basil and onion in pie shell.

Article: Summer Tomato Pie
Archived on 08/03/2009
Since this is "Tomato" week at Thrifty Fun, I thought I'd submit an unusual and delicious dish using tomatoes as the main ingredient.
Ingredients
2 pie crusts (I like the Pillsbury refrigerated ones)
4-6 ripe tomatoes, peeled and thickly sliced
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. freshly ground pepper
2 Tbs. chopped fresh basil (1 Tbsp. if dried)
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese--grated
1 cup mayonnaise
Directions
Line a nine-inch pie plate with pastry.
Cover with layers of sliced tomatoes.
Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and basil.
Blend cheese and mayonnaise and spread over tomatoes.
Cover with top pie crust.
Bake at 400 degrees F for 15 minutes. Then reduce heat to 350 degrees F for 20 minutes or until crust is slightly brown.
Eat and enjoy--a summer must!

RE: Summer Tomato Pie
Sandy - I fixed your Tomato Pie for dinner last night. My husband and I loved it. Just fantastic. Had to keep an eye on my husband though - he thinks that "pie" should be served with a scoop of icecream on top! Will be making that one again, and sharing it with friends! Thanks (08/08/2008)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place the tomatoes in 1 layer in a colander in the sink. Sprinkle with salt and allow to stand for 10 minutes.
Layer the tomato slices, basil and onion in pie shell. Season with salt and pepper. Combine the grated cheeses and mayonnaise together. Spread mixture on top of the tomatoes and bake for 30 minutes or until lightly browned. Cut into slices and serve warm.
Source: This recipe was clipped from our local little weekly paper. I tried this last evening and found the tomato pie very tasty. Will be making it again.
