Heirloom tomato pie

Not a quiche, nor a lasagna, it’s somewhere in between. Found the recipe over here and was intrigued! Pretty good, had half tonight — it’s much less heavy than you might think, though of course still pretty hearty.

Ingredients:
1 (9 inch) pie shell
2-3lbs ripe heirloom tomatoes, sliced
1 yellow onion
3/4 cup organic mayonnaise or Veganaise
1/3 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Ground black pepper to taste
2 teaspoons fresh basil
2 teaspoons fresh oregano

Directions:
PREHEAT: oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
BAKE: the pastry shell for 8 to 10 minutes or until browned.
SLICE: onion and place in the bottom of pastry shell.
SLICE: heirloom tomatoes and arrange over onions. Add black pepper to taste.
MIX: in a medium bowl, combine mozzarella, parmesan and mayonnaise. Spread this mixture evenly over heirloom tomatoes.
BAKE: at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Once cooked, garnish with fresh herbs.

    It was quite lovely to see like that once it was all cooked and with the herbs on top. Definitely going to have to try it again!

    That looks delicious! One of the local natural grocers still has heirloom tomatoes available and I just may have to snag some before they’re gone for the year so I can make this!

    The haphazardly sprinkled herbs lend lots of charm to the presentation but it’s the ripe heirlooms in the recipe which make it a must-try. Looks delish!
