A "Fruit" Pie

So when you think of pie what do you think of? Fruit pie? Well this is a kinda of fruit pie; tomatoes are a fruit you know!

For this pie I used Cherokee Purple Heirloom Tomatoes from the Hub City Farmer's Market.

You will need the following:
4 tomatoes, peeled and sliced
10 fresh basil leaves, chopped
1/2 cup chopped green onion
1 (9-inch) prebaked deep dish pie shell
1 cup grated mozzarella
1 cup grated cheddar
1 cup mayonnaise
salt and pepper

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Place the tomatoes in a colander in the sink in 1 layer. Sprinkle with salt and allow to drain for 10 minutes.
Layer the tomatoes 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.
To serve, cut into slices and serve warm.


In all honesty this was my first attempt at tomato pie and I don't think I drained the tomatoes right so my end product turned out really soupy.

Tomatoes, yum!

Basil all cut up and ready to go!

Layer in the ingredients.

Before and...

...after.

And then it fell apart.
