Tomato Pie (Crustless)
Ingredients
6-8 tomatoes, sliced
2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon butter
1 large onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons fresh oregano, chopped
8 fresh basil leaves, chopped
2.5 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
2 eggs, beaten
Preheat oven to 375°F
Slice tomatoes and place them on a plate, or a straining type of vessel. Sprinkle tomatoes with salt, and allow them to sit for about 30 minutes. When tomatoes are ready drain the water that has come out of the tomatoes, then pat tomatoes dry with paper towels.
While the tomatoes are resting, in a small skillet heat butter over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic, until onions are soft, about 5 minutes. Set aside and let them cool.
In a separate bowl add cheese, eggs, basil, oregano, ground pepper and onions, stir to combine ingredients.
After you let the tomatoes rest, drained and patted them dry, arrange tomatoes in a single layer on the bottom of a greased pie pan. Top with 1/4 of the cheese mixture. Repeat until all the ingredients have been utilized, finishing off with a layer of tomatoes. Sprinkle the top with half a cup of plain shredded mozzarella cheese.
Bake in the heated oven for 40 minutes or until the edges are browned.
Allow to sit for about 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
