Source of Recipe


"Lee Bailey's Tomatoes"


Recipe Introduction


To save time, use a prepared pie crust for the pastry.


List of Ingredients




Pastry:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces

2/3 cup milk

Filling:

3 pounds ripe tomatoes, peeled, seeded and sliced thick

2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

3/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 pound sharp white cheddar cheese, grated

2/3 cup mayonnaise

Recipe



PREHEAT oven to 400 degrees. Sift the flour, salt and baking powder together. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender or two knives until the butter pieces are the size of small peas. Stir in the milk. Turn out on a floured board and knead a few times. Divide in two and roll out half. Line a 10-inch pie pan with the rolled-out dough and set aside.

MIX the tomatoes, herbs, salt and half the cheese. Spoon into the pie pan. Spread with mayonnaise and sprinkle the rest of the cheese over all.

ROLL out the remaining dough and cover the top, sealing around the edges. Bake until golden, about 20 to 25 minutes. Serve warm (may be reheated).

serves 6-8.
