TOMATO BASIL PIE
1 deep dish pie crust (I’m lazy, I buy one at the grocery!)
1 / 4 cup Parmesan cheese
4 medium tomatoes
1 cup basil (chopped) Can you tell I love basil!
1 1 / 2 cups mayonnaise
1 1 / 2 cups shredded cheese (I use a mixture of Swiss and Cheddar)
Salt & pepper
Bake the crust for 10 minutes in a 350 degree oven. Remove and sprinkle the Parmesan cheese on the bottom. Let cool a bit. Meanwhile, slice the tomatoes about 1 / 4 inch thick. Lay them on paper towel and pat as dry as possible. Mix mayonnaise and cheese together. When crust is cooled, place a layer of tomato slices on the bottom; cover with basil and salt and pepper to taste. Repeat the layers until you reach the top (usually 2-3 layers). Take the cheese/mayo mixture and spread it over the top of the pie making sure that you cover the tomatoes and basil. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 30-35 minutes. Let the pie cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.

You may have either low fat or regular mayonnaise. 1 Tbsp of regular is a serving of fat/oil.
