This simple pie is delicious and makes a lovely change from traditional quiches. Try it for lunch with a salad comprised only of greens and thinly sliced red onion.
- 5 Tomatoes, chopped
- 1 Bunch of basil leaves, chopped
- ½ Cup green (spring) onions, chopped
- 1 Pre-baked pie shell
- 1 Cup cheddar cheese, grated
- 1 Cup mozzarella cheese, grated
- 2/3 Cup mayonnaise (good quality like Hellman’s)
- 1/3 Cup plain low fat yoghurt
METHOD:
- Place chopped tomatoes in a sieve or colander. Sprinkle with salt and leave to drain for 20 minutes – give them a good shake every now and then.
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees C.
- Cover the base of pie shell with chopped basil, the amount you use should be based on personal preference. I love basil and therefore add about ¾ cup of chopped leaves.
- Cover basil with drained chopped tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper, sprinkle onions on top.
- Combine cheeses, mayonnaise and yoghurt together and spread mixture on top.
- Bake for 30 – 40 minutes or until top is slightly brown.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
