Heirloom Tomato Pie



It is hard to pass up fresh tomatoes at the Farmer's Market and my haul this week screamed to be made into a Tomato Pie.  So, of course, I obliged.

TO MAKE:

2 1/4 pounds tomatoes
1 sweet onion
1 1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1 /4 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup assorted herbs - I use basil, parsley and  thyme
1/2 cup grated Gruyere cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup mayo
1 store bought pie crust or homemade pie crust

Slice tomatoes and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt.  Let stand for 10 minutes.
Saute the onion in the olive oil with a 1/4 teaspoon of salt and pepper
Mix cheese and mayo together.
Dry tomato with a paper towel.
Mix herbs with a teaspoon of pepper.
Layer tomato on bottom of pie crust, sprinkle a bit of pepper, add the onion, another sprinkle of pepper, spread the herbs across top, use remaining pepper and then top with cheese.

Coot at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

Enjoy!

xoxo,
Lee
