4 large large tomatoes, sliced Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the best flavor.
1 piece pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese Consider trying other cheeses, like cheddar, for a different flavor profile.

1/2 cup chopped green onions
1 teaspoon dried basil Use different herbs like oregano or thyme for a unique twist.
Salt and pepper to taste

Method

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Arrange the sliced tomatoes in the bottom of the pie crust.
In a bowl, mix together the mozzarella cheese, mayonnaise, green onions, basil, salt, and pepper.

Baking

Notes

Southern Tomato Pie can be served warm or at room temperature. It pairs well with a side salad for a light meal and crusty bread to soak up any delicious juices. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat slices in the oven for a few minutes to restore the pie’s crispness. You can prepare it the day before and bake it just before serving.
