This is truly savory and delicious. The sour cream crust is so tender. This is from Southern Living magazine.
Ingredients:
4 tomatoes, medium, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch slices (about 1 1/2 lb)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup mayonnaise
3 green onions, chopped
2 tablespoons basil, fresh and chopped
1 cup parmesan cheese, shredded, divided
sour cream pastry dough
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup sour cream
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare Sour Cream Pastry.
2. Sour Cream Pastry: Stir together first 3 ingredients in a bowl. Cut shortening into flour mixture with a pastry blender until mixture resembles small peas. Add sour cream; stir with a fork until combined. Gently gather dough into a flat disk; wrap in plastic wrap, and chill 1 to 24 hours.
3. Tomato Pie: Meanwhile, place tomatoes in a single layer on paper towels; sprinkle with salt. Let stand 30 minutes. Pat dry with paper towels. Stir together next 3 ingredients and 3/4 cup of cheese.
4. Roll Sour Cream Pastry into a 13-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Fit into a 9-inch pie plate; fold edges under, and crimp.
5. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly brown. Remove from oven, and sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup cheese over bottom of crust. Arrange tomato slices over cheese in crust; spread mayonnaise mixture over tomatoes.
6. Bake at 350 degrees for 34 to 37 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before serving.
