Delicious tomato and basil pie made in a gluten free pie shell.

This is my version of tomato pie, I just can’t bring myself to putting a whole cup of mayonnaise in a pie, just can’t do it.

So I compromised and put some in to keep the flavor I remember from the first tomato pie I ever had but have it be a lot less greasy.

 

 

We have had a lot of rain this year but the basil seems to be enjoying it.

 

 

Chop it and have it ready.

 

 

Fresh garlic.

 

 

Slice the garlic and have that ready.

 

 

I like taking photos of red onions.

 

 

Oo, pretty.

 

 

Slice  a few tomatoes and have them ready.

 

 

In an un baked pie shell Layer in tomatoes,

 

 

Basil,

 

 

cheese,

 

 

onion and garlic,

 

 

more tomatoes

 

 

and some mayonnaise.

 

 

But not a lot of  mayonnaise.

 

 

Repeat layers until the pie is full. Top with a little more cheese just to be on the safe side.

 

 

 

Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes or until edges are lightly brown.

 

 

 

Let cool and serve.
