tomato pie

i had this at a dinner party over the weekend. man...it was good!

Pillsbury pie crust

Beefsteak tomatoes

Fresh basil

Shredded mozzarella

Sour cream

Mayo

Salt

Olive oil

Drain the tomatoes by cutting off the bottom and squeezing the seeds/juice out. I learned that the bottom is best to squeeze the seeds out by trial and error. Slice and put them in a colander for 1-2 hours to drain. Spray the pie dish/casserole dish with pam. Trim/piece together the pie crust to fit. Put a layer of cheese on the bottom (a couple of handfuls), then a layer of tomatoes, basil, salt, and olive oil. Repeat the layers again, obviously minus the pie crust. Top with a mixture of 2 parts mozzarella and 1 part each of sour cream and mayo. The only thing that I did different is I added a little garlic powder and pepper to each layer. The original recipe called for some parmesan, but I only used mozzarella.

Bake for 40-45 minutes uncovered at 350.
