- Pour lemon mayonnaise over filling and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
- Roll out remaining piece of dough into a 12-inch round in same manner, then fit over filling, folding overhang under edge of bottom crust and pinching edge to seal.
- Cut 4 steam vents in top crust and brush crust with 2 teaspoons melted butter.
- Bake pie in middle of oven until crust is golden and filling is bubbling, 30 to 35 minutes, then cool on a rack.
