Tomato Pie

This is vegetarian deliciousness made easy. In fact, it's a vegetarian meal that my carnivorous husband will scarf down and ask for more. He'll even eat it as the main course and never demand a piece of meat beside it. It's so easy and so fast that it's great for a weekday meal.

You can make your own crust for this, but I'm just not the baking type which is evident when I do attempt to bake.

INGREDIENTS

3 to 4 large local tomatoes fresh off the vine, sliced
1 store bought organic pie crust
&mfrac12; cup gruyere cheese, shredded
&mfrac12; cup local sharp white cheddar, shredded
&mfrac14; cup organic mayonnaise
2 tbsps organic Dijon mustard
1 bunch fresh local basil, chopped roughly
Sea salt and pepper to taste.
or homemade(Dijon is a dominant taste so be careful how much you use.)

PREPARATION:

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Bake the pie crust for a few minutes but don't let it get too brown. Watch it carefully.
  3. Mix mayonnaise and mustard together in a bowl and spread evenly on pie crust.
  4. Add a layer of tomatoes and season.
  5. Add a layer of basil.
  6. Add a layer of cheeses.
  7. Repeat about three times until all ingredients are gone.
  8. Bake for about 40 minutes.
