Tomato Pie by Chef Kaiya

What you need:

4-6 tomatoes, peeled and sliced
1 tbsp of basil (or 10 basil leaves)
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1 9" prebaked deep dish pie shell
1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
1 cup grated cheddar (or cheese of your choice)
1 cup mayonnaise
Salt
Pepper



Preheat the oven to 350° f. Peel and slice your tomatoes, and then put them in a colander in the sink in a single layer.





Sprinkle with salt and allow to drain for ten minutes. Then pat them dry with a paper towel.



If your pie shell is not prebaked, you will want to do that at this time, following the package directions.



Chop your green onions.



Layer the tomato slices, basil, and green onions in the pie shell. Season with salt and pepper.







Combine the grated cheeses and mayonnaise.





Spread the mixture on top of the tomatoes and bake until the cheese is melted and the top is lightly browned; about 30 minutes.



Cut into slices and serve.
