Crustless Tomato Pie

Ingredients

• 1½ lbs ripe tomatoes (sliced into ¼–⅓-inch slices)
• 1 tsp salt (divided)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 large eggs
• ½ tsp black pepper
• ¼ tsp garlic powder
• ¼ cup fresh basil (chopped (10g))
• 2 tbsp chopped green onion

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or baking dish.

2. 2

   Arrange tomato slices on a paper towel-lined tray, sprinkle lightly with ½ teaspoon salt, and let sit for 30 minutes to release excess moisture.

3. 3

   Pat dry the tomatoes to remove as much moisture as possible. Set aside.

4. 4

   In a large bowl, combine cheddar, mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, eggs, remaining salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

5. 5

   Spread about ⅓ of the cheese mixture on the bottom of the prepared dish. Then layer half the tomato slices evenly in the prepared dish.

6. 6

   Spread another ⅓ of the cheese mixture on top of the tomatoes and sprinkle with basil and green onions.

7. 7

   Layer the second half of the tomatoes on top and spread with the remaining cheese mixture.

8. 8

   Bake for 35–40 minutes until the center is set and the top is lightly golden. Let cool for 10–15 minutes before slicing and serving.
