Re: Hot weather recipes
Now that some of us are harvesting our homegrown tomatoes, there is nothing better than a good BLT. Or stuff tomatoes with tuna or chicken salad for a light dinner or lunch. You might want to try this tomatoe pie recipe too with a nice salad:<br /><br />Fresh Tomatoe Pie<br /><br />1 9-inch pie crust<br />3 tomatoes, thickly sliced<br />1/2 teaspoon salt<br />1/4 teaspoon pepper<br />2 tablespoons fresh basil, torn<br />1/4 cup chopped chives<br />1/2 cup mayonnaise<br />1-1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese<br /><br />Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Bake crust 5 minutes and remove from oven. Reduce heat to 400 degrees. Line piecrust with tomatoes. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, basil and chives. In small bowl, mix mayonnaise and cheese and mix well. Carefully spread the mayonnaise mixture over the tomatoes slices, sealing mayonnaise mixture to the edges of the pie crust. Bake 30-35 minutes until topping bubbles and begins to brown. Serve immediately. <br /><br />Serves 4-6, or only 2 if it's a main course!
