Summertime Tomato Pie

There are many tomato pie recipes online that are wonderful.  Here is mine.  We think it is delicious!  Try it and let me know what you think.

1 9-inch deep dish pie crust
5 Roma tomatoes
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese (not the green can kind)
3-4 green onions, sliced thinly
3/4 cup mayonnaise
2 Tablespoons of Italian blend seasoning (I use McCormick)
Dash of salt and pepper
2 Tablespoons of Italian bread crumbs

Rinse and slice tomatoes.  Slice each tomato into 5 slices.  Place the tomatoes on a wire cookie sheet that is on top a baking pan that is lined with paper towels for easy clean-up.  This will allow the tomatoes to drain their juices. I recommend letting them drain for at least 25 minutes. If the tomatoes look too wet, pat with clean paper towels to soak up some juice. You don't want a watery pie!

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Bake pie crust for 12 minutes, while tomatoes are draining.  Remove from oven and let cool 5 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, mix cheeses, green onions, mayonnaise, a dash of salt and dash of pepper.  Mixture will be thick.
Sprinkle one tablespoon of bread crumbs in  pie crust (this helps to absorb tomato juices and keeps crust from getting too wet)
Place a layer of tomatoes in crust and sprinkle with Italian seasonings.  Add another layer and Italian seasonings, etc., until all tomatoes are used.
Spread cheese mixture on top of tomatoes.
Sprinkle with a remaining Italian bread crumbs.
Bake for 35 minutes.
Allow pie to cool for 20 minutes prior to cutting.
