Summer Tomato Pie

9 ingredients
6 steps

Ingredients

  • 15 ounces refrigerated pie crusts (two crusts total)
  • 3 medium tomatoes, sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh herb, chopped (I used basil and oregano)
  • 1/3 cup spring onion, sliced thin including some green tops
  • 1 1/2 cups extra-sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • ground black pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place and fit pie crust in pie plate, cover with foil and top with pie weights (dry rice or beans). Bake for 8 minutes, remove, and allow to cool slightly.
  2. 2
    Reduce oven temp to 350 degrees. Place sliced tomatoes paper towels to drain excess liquid for 10-15 minutes, blotting the top also.
  3. 3
    In the slightly cooled, baked pie sheel, layer the sliced tomatoes, herbs, onions and cheese (in that order).
  4. 4
    Mix together to mayo, lemon juice, salt and pepper and spread this mixture evenly over the cheese.
  5. 5
    Place the second (unbaked) pie crust over the top and crimp the edges to seal. Use a sharp paring knife to cut four vents in the top.
  6. 6
    Bake for 45-50 minutes, until top crust is golden and filling is bubbling. Let stand 10-15 minutes before serving.
