Summer Tomato Pie
- 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
- 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.
- Reduce oven temp to 350 degrees. Place sliced tomatoes paper towels to drain excess liquid for 10-15 minutes, blotting the top also.
- In the slightly cooled, baked pie sheel, layer the sliced tomatoes, herbs, onions and cheese (in that order).
- Mix together to mayo, lemon juice, salt and pepper and spread this mixture evenly over the cheese.
- 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.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, until top crust is golden and filling is bubbling. Let stand 10-15 minutes before serving.
