Serves: 8 slices
Ingredients
  • 1 nine-inch organic pie shell (Yes, give yourself a break today)
  • 4 Tomatoes (Heirloom is preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon of pink sea salt
  • 1 Cup of Mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon of black pepper
  • 1 cup of shredded smoked Gouda cheese
  • 1 cup of shredded mild cheddar cheese
  • 10 Basil leaves thinly sliced
  • 2 Green onion tops thinly sliced
  • 1 Tablespoon of butter
  • 1 medium onion sliced
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  2. First, prepare tomatoes: Slice tomatoes into semi-thick slices. Place tomatoes in a single layer on a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of pink sea salt. Let stand for 15 minutes to remove moisture.
  3. Meanwhile, saute onions in 1 tablespoon of butter until caramelized. Then add thinly sliced basil leaves and green onion tops. In a small bowl combine all three ingredients. Mix. Set aside.
  4. Next, prepare the cheese mixture. Add mayonnaise, Gouda cheese, Cheddar cheese, and black pepper. Mix. Set aside.
  5. Now, pat tomato slices dry with a paper towel to remove moisture. Layer half of the tomatoes in the pie shell, slightly overlapping. Spread half of the onion mixture over the tomatoes. Repeat with the second layer of tomatoes and onion mixture.
  6. Lastly, spread on the cheese mixture.
  7. Bake at 375 for 30 to 40 minutes. Let stand for 15 minutes before serving. Tomatoes should be fork tender.
