1frozen deep dish pie crust

⅜ cuplight mayonnaise

1 ½ cupsshredded cheese

3 teaspoonsfresh herbs

snipped or chopped

Instructions

Step 1

You can also use a refrigerated pie crust or make your own.

Step 2

Place tomato slices on paper towels and let them drain for a few minutes before adding them to the pie shell to keep the pie from getting too soggy.

Step 3

I usually fill any holes in the mayo/cheese spread with extra shredded cheese.

Step 4

Blind bake the frozen pie crust, using the methods above to keep it from puffing up in the pan, at 425 degrees F for 7 or 8 minutes. Mix the mayo with the shredded cheese. This mixture will be the consistency of pimento cheese.

Step 5

Spread the tomatoes on the bottom of the crust and then layer with the onions. Season with half of the herbs and salt and pepper. Spread the mayo/cheese mixture on top as well as you can. Fill in any holes with extra cheese if you want it to be good and cheesy.

Step 6

Sprinkle the top with the remainder of the herbs. Bake at 400 degrees F for 20 minutes or until brown (both crust and cheese).
