Blue Ribbon Recipe by

This recipe was found while visiting Hilton Head Island one summer. We added our twist to the recipe. It is so yummy. It has become a summer favorite. Of course, you must use Duke's mayonnaise if making this in the South.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Tomato pie is a light and refreshing summertime meal. If you grew up in the South, every family has their take on this classic recipe and Cathie's version is delicious. There's a deep dish crust that leaves a lot of room for the juicy tomato slices. Fresh basil adds a pop of flavor that's classic in summertime dishes. A mixture of mayonnaise, cheddar cheese, and mozzarella cheese binds the savory pie together. This tomato pie will be a nice addition to brunch or a lighter dinner with a side salad.
