Tomato Pie

• 4 large tomatoes, peeled and sliced
• 10 fresh basil leaves, chopped
• 1/2 cup chopped green onion
• 1 (9-inch) prebaked deep dish pie shell
• 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup grated cheddar
• 1 cup mayonnaise (or sour cream)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Blanch tomatoes by dipping them in boiling water for about 10 sec until the skin cracks. Then immediately transfer to a bowl filled with ice and water to cool them off. This makes peeling the tomatoes a breeze.
3. Slice the peeled tomatoes and lay inside in one layer and sprinkle with salt. Allow to drain 10 min, then flip and salt other side allowing to drain for 10 more min.
4. Layer tomato slices inside prebaked pie crust. Sprinkle onion and chopped basil leaves on each layer evenly. Season with salt and pepper as desired.
5. Combine grated cheeses with mayo (sour cream) and then spread evenly on top of the pie like a top crust.
6. Bake 30 minutes until lightly browned. Slice and serve warm.

Jerrod's Banana Rhubarb Pie

What a combination! I was searching long and hard for a rhubarb pie recipe... and I was surprised at the combinations! Especially this one. But I tried making it for my husband (he likes bananas, I don't) and he liked it pretty well. It's been awhile since I've made it. The bananas make it a pretty mushy pie, because rhubarb is pretty mushy when it's cooked.

You will need

• 1/2 lb fresh rhubarb (3 cups sliced) You can also use frozen, I've been able to find frozen bags of rhubarb at my local grocery store. Amazing! I know! It's hard to find fresh.
• 3 medium bananas (3 cups sliced)
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup orange juice
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tbs butter
• 1 9" unbaked double pie crust (you're on your own for a recipe there, I use frozen Pre-made crusts cause I stink at making them from scratch)

1. Combine all ingredients except butter and crust. Spread into pie crust and dot with butter.
2. Place the crust on top and back at 450 degrees for 15 minutes.
3. Reduce heat to 350 and bake for 20 minutes or more until crust is brown
4. Cool and serve
