My Southern Grandma’s 2-Step Tomato Pie is a classic summer dish that features layers of fresh tomatoes and a creamy cheese spread, all nestled in a flaky pastry shell. Simple yet flavorful, it’s sure to impress at any gathering.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 baked pastry shell (quiche or pie pan)
- 4 to 6 beefsteak tomatoes peeled and cut into thin slices
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh chopped basil or 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup of grated cheese
Instructions
- Layer the sliced tomatoes in the baked pastry shell, sprinkling with salt, pepper, basil, and chives as you go.
