Tomato Pie
Ingredients
1/2 c. sour cream
1/2 c. mayonaise
1/2 c. parmesean cheese
1/2 c. cheddar cheese
1/4 c. scallions
1 T. basil
approx. 6 tomatoes, depending on size (enough to slice, salt, and cover the pie crust in a single layer) + some kosher salt
1 pie crust
Directions
Preheat oven to 350. Prepare a pie pan with pan spray. Using extra flour and a rolling pin, roll out your pie crust to 1/8 inch thick, and place it in the prepared pie pan. Place a piece of parchment paper over the pie shell, and fill with dry beans or pie weights. Bake for about 10 to 12 minutes, until the crust is set and just beginning to turn golden in color. Remove from oven and allow to cool on a baking rack as you prepare the remaining ingredients.
Slice tomatoes roughly a quarter inch thick. Place them in a single layer on a clean kitchen towel, and sprinkle with kosher salt. Allow to sit about 10 minutes. This allows the tomatoes to render some of the water that would otherwise make your tomato pie soggy.
Combine the first 6 ingredients. Place sliced tomatoes inside the pre-baked pie shell and cover with creamy goodness. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes at 350. Remove from oven and allow to cool on a baking rack for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
