Makes 8 appetizer slices or 5 entrée portions.

2 medium tomatoes, sliced

½ oz. fresh chopped basil

4 oz. shredded mozzarella cheese

4 oz. shredded Asiago cheese

4 oz. shredded Gruyere cheese

2 oz. mayonnaise

1 pre-baked pie shell (lightly browned)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. While pie shell is baking, toss all ingredients except tomatoes in a medium bowl. Mixture should have a thick paste consistency. Beginning with the sliced tomatoes on the bottom, alternate layers of tomatoes and cheese mixture, ending with cheese mixture on top.

Bake in oven until top layer bubbles and browns (approximately 25 – 30 minutes). Let rest before serving (about 15 minutes).

Make a great party appetizer as well. Simply dice the tomatoes and toss with other ingredients together in a bowl. Spoon ingredients together into mini pre-baked, phyllo shells which you can purchase in your grocers freezer section. Simply fill the shells and bake at 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes and serve immediately.
