Tomato Pie

1 pre-baked pie shell

Spread 2 Tablespoons or so of any kind of mustard you like on baked pie shell crust.

Place 1 layer of sliced tomatoes in bottom of crust. (I also added some sliced Vidalia onions on top of the tomatoes but you don't have to).

Sprinkle the 1st layer of tomatoes with a layer of cheese..any kind you like. I used a mixture of shredded cheeses like you buy in the store already pre-packaged.

Place another layer of tomatoes on top of that...sprinkle with (onions if you want again) and then another layer of cheese.  Work your way to the top of the pie crust.

You end with cheese layer.

For the topping you can mix 1/2 cup of mayo and 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese..spread over cheese and tomato layers. (You do not have to use this last step ..it is super rich...but it makes it good...but you can just have your last layer cheese or maybe top with bacon bits or something). If you need more you can always increase the mayo another 1/4 cup and same for Parmesan cheese...

Bake in 350 to 375 degree oven for about 15 to 20 minutes..till golden brown and bubbly on top.

Cool slightly so juice will set up some...slice and enjoy!

This is one of the best tomato pie recipes I have ever had or made!

OKay....I had seen this recipe in Country Living awhile back and today I decided to test it out. I substituted a few things. I used little grape tomatoes from my garden cut in half for the plum tomatoes....and basically just added as many as I wanted to fill the bottom of the pie crust and then another layer on top. I also do not have mayo in the house so I used some salad dressing....I think it was Sweet Valdia Onion or something like that. I used a Pillsbury refrigerator pie crust...and it may have baked a tad too long but was it so yummy!!!! SO sweet. I used onions from my garden too......and between those carmelizing a bit with my grape tomatoes....wow! Here is the original version of Tandi's Tomato Pie recipe you can try if you like!\

Tandi's Tomato Pie

1 baked pie crust
4 medium plum tomatoes (I substituted a ton of little grape tomatoes cut in half)
1 Cup chopped white onions
dash salt
dash pepper
2 Tablespoons of chopped fresh basil (or from a spice jar)
1/2 cup mayonnaise (I substituted liquid salad dressing my choice)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup grated Cheddar cheese

Bake pie shell.

Mix mayo and cheeses together to form a cheese mixture.

Place 1 layer of tomatoes or about half in the bottom of the pie crust. Add 1/2 the onions and half the spices. Try to spread 1/2 the cheese mixture over this. Add another layer of tomatoes, onion, and spices and top with remaining cheese mixture. Slice a big tomato on top for decoration and add additional cheese if needed (which I did need to do) to fill in gaps on top.

Bake in 375 degree oven for about 30-45 minutes until golden brown. Cool 20 minutes before cutting to serve.

I think other cheeses would be good to try too like smokey cheese and gouda or Swiss...I do not normally eat any cheese but Parmesan on occasion or string cheese. BUT I have been wanting to try this recipe for so long now. I would HIGHLY recommend you try it sometime! SO delicious and simple to make! MEATLESS too for those veg heads out there!
