Tomato Pie

Our tomatoes have really taken off! Friday night I made one of my favorite summer recipes with some Brandywines from our straw bale garden. I was able to get enough basil from my little container to use too.

Tomato Pie

1 deep dish pie crust
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
2 large tomatoes, sliced
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
1 teaspoon minced garlic
Topping Mix:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
1 cup mozzarella cheese

Slice tomatoes and drain on paper towels.

Preheat oven to 375. Prick pie crust all over with a fork. Bake pie crust 10 minutes or until it just starts to brown.

Sprinkle mozzarella in the bottom of the crust. Layer tomatoes, basil, and garlic. Mix topping ingredients and add to top of pie. Bake until golden, about 20-30 minutes.

Tomatoes Doing Great!

I haven't updated in a while so I thought I'd post a picture of the tomatoes in our straw bale garden. The Brandywine & grape tomatoes are loaded down. I can't wait for them to get ripe!
