Southern Fresh Tomato Pie # 2

Southern Fresh Tomato Pie  # 2

I have a different recipe for fresh tomato pie (# 1) here on my blog and I think it's my favorite. I did not want to delete this recipe because it's the one my brother in Alabama gave me. It's the first recipe I ever tasted & it's great too, even though the ingredients are similar.

If you've never had Tomato Pie and you want to try something different, this is a great recipe. It would be wonderful as a side dish or even as a main meal. My brother's recipe originally had oregano on top too, but I wasn't crazy about that. This pie is great for breakfast too!

Ingredients

1. • 1 All-Ready pie shell
   • 3- 4 ripe tomatoes, sliced
   •  1 onion, very thinly sliced
   • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
   • 1/3 cup sour cream
   • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, grated
   • 1/2  cup cheddar cheese, grated
   • 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
   • black pepper and salt to taste
   • 2 teaspoons fresh basil

1. 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
   2. Bake the pastry shell for 10 minutes or til browned.
   3. Slice onion thinly and place in the bottom of pastry shell. Slice tomatoes and place evenly over onions. (After soaking them on payer towels first to remove liquid). Add black pepper  and salt to taste.
   4. In a bowl, combine mozzarella, cheddar, parmesan, sour cream and mayonnaise. Spread this mixture evenly over tomatoes.
   5. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Garnish with fresh basil. I had to cook this longer in my oven.
   6. Note: My onions did not get soft enough the first time I made this (maybe because my oven temperature was off) so the next time I sauteed the onions first.
