Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Mix together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1 cup mozzarella, 1/4 grated Parmesan, 1/8 tsp. pepper, 1 tsp. Italian seasoning blend.
Next, you will need an unbaked pie shell. I suppose you could use a refrigerated crust but I prefer my own homemade pie crust!
Set aside another 1/2 c. mozzarella. Cut 5-6 fresh tomatoes into wedges with seeds removed. Stir 1 T. minced garlic into the wedged tomatoes.
Place empty pie shell in the oven. Bake @450 degrees for 5 minutes. Reduce oven temp to 375 degrees and bake another 8 minutes. DO NOT POKE HOLES IN CRUST! It will puff up and that's okay!!!!
Remove pie shell from oven and sprinkle the 1/2 c. mozzarella over the hot crust. Add tomato/garlic mixture. I use a slotted spoon to add tomatoes in order to drain any excess liquid.
Spoon the mayonnaise/cheese mixture over the tomatoes. Arrange foil around the crust or use a pie shield. This will keep the crust from getting too overdone. Bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until cheese is bubbling.
Yummy!!
