First Mater Pie

[MolliesMaster]

Well thanks to LowcountryBuck and Geetch, I set out to make my first pie today. Kinda mixed their recipes a little.
Precooked the pie shell for about five minutes at 350.
3 and 1/2 peeled and sliced tomatoes ( I ate the other half while I was waiting) Drained for 15 minutes or so
about 3/4 cup of mayo (dukes light)
7 leaves of basil
1/4 green onion
little over 1/2 cup of vidalia
Mozzerella on bottom and sharp cheese by eyeball.

The flavor was amazing on it. I can tell by the empty pie pan left on the counter. But I don't think I got it completely right. Either too much mayo or didn't let the tomatoes drain long enough because it came out a little "wetter" than I wanted. Gonna experiment a little this sunday with cutting back the mayo and see how that goes. Anybody ever tried adding like a crumble or something similar on top of it? I was thinking italian bread crumbs or something toasted on top would be a nice little touch? Little help?

Maters go on paper towels before they go in the pie.

Maters go on paper towels before they go in the pie.

Now why didn't I think of that.. I had them in a colander the whole time but the paper towel thing probably would help a lot right before I put them in the pie.

Salting them in the collander is what will drain them the best. Trust me.

Good eats! Once you make a few, you'll hit the right combo to suit your taste. Nice job.

Only on tip , less water equals more fat.

[Highstrung]

Adding more fat to anything is good.

Bacon, where's the bacon?

I gotta try one this weekend on the Egg.Never heard of mater pie til I got on this here site.Re bacon,layered up inside, on top or eat on the side?

Dukes Lite?? Try heavy.

By the way, I think Dukes is better in homemade ranch dressing than Hellmans. Seems more consistent in the outcome.

I'll be making another one on Sunday. With the bacon on the side. I am gonna add some bread crumbs on top if get around to it. I'll let y'all know how it goes.

When I said bacon on the side I meant bacon as a side item. Not in the pie. I like the way the tomatoes taste just fine.

Bacon, eggs, maters, onions, cheese, cholua.
