COUNTRY TOMATO AND BACON PIE

Steps:

• If using a frozen pie crust, you'll need to let it defrost on the counter for about 10 minutes, then prick the crust with a fork (this keeps the crust from getting too puffy while baking).
• Then bake it using the instructions on the back of your package (usually 400F degrees for about 10-12 minutes).
• If using my Wham Bam Pie Crust, you'll prepare as directed, prick the crust with a fork, and then prebake at 400F degrees for about 10-12 minutes.
• Allow crust to cool slightly.
• Turn oven down to 350F degrees.
• Start layering tomato slices on the bottom of the pie.
• Season with some freshly ground black pepper.
• Then top with green onions, basil and crumbled bacon.
• In a bowl, combine mayonnaise with shredded cheese.
• Spread the cheese mixture on top of your pie.
• Bake at 350F degrees for about 30-35 minutes (until golden brown).
• If the the edges of your pie crust are becoming too brown while baking, you may want to put some aluminum foil around the edges of the pie, just covering the crust for the duration of baking.

THE BEST TOMATO PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350ºF and if making prepare the pie dough.
• Slice the tomatoes to about 1/4-inch in thickness and arrange them in a single layer on a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Coat the tomatoes in salt and cover again with another layer of paper towels. Let sit for 10 minutes.
• In a medium bowl combine the shredded cheese, mayonnaise, fresh basil, and spices together until mixed well. Set aside.
• Place the 9-inch pie shell into your pie dish and arrange a single layer of sliced tomatoes on the bottom. Cover the tomatoes with half of the cheese mixture and repeat this step.
• Layer the last of the tomato slices on top, overlapping is okay, and firmly press them into the pie. This helps the ingredients come together.
• Place the pie into the oven and bake for 35 to 45 minutes, until the cheese begins to bubble and the crust turns a golden brown.
