It’s Gonna Be Good Y’all: Brenda Gantt’s Tomato Pie

Preheat oven to 350°. Bake empty piecrust for 10 minutes. Slice tomatoes and then place in a colander. Sprinkle each slice with salt. The salt will pull out the liquids in the tomatoes. Let sit and drain about 20 minutes, until all liquid is out. Mix mayonnaise, sour cream, mozzarella, Cheddar, and green onions. Layer half of tomatoes in your piecrust. Top with basil, garlic powder, and pepper. Spread on half of cheese mixture. Add a second layer of remaining tomatoes and sprinkle with basil, garlic powder, and pepper. Place remainder of cheese mixture on top. Sprinkle with Parmesan. Bake until pie is bubbly and crust is brown, about 50 minutes. Sprinkle with extra basil.
