I don’t know why, but we haven’t made these in years and they are outrageously good. The recipe comes from the Roseville B&B in Marshall, TX but I don’t have a link for it.
The ingredients:
10
count inexpensive buttermilk biscuits (we use thawed frozen ones)
Pam
Dried
Basil or Italian Seasoning (we used fresh basil)
Sliced
tomatoes for 10 Biscuits
Salad
Supreme by McCormick
1½
cups of grated Monterey Jack/Colby grated cheese
1 cup Mayonnaise
(Dukes for us)
Grated
Parmesan cheese
Fresh
basil
Note: Bev made a full recipe of the cheese/mayo but we only made four pies but since the mixture will keep well, we can enjoy them again in a few days.
The
Process:
1. Spray
foil lined cookie sheet with Pam. Space
biscuits and flatten.
2, Spray
biscuits with Pam and sprinkle with basil.
3. Peel (we didn't peel) and slice tomatoes ½“ thick and place a slice on each biscuit. Since the biscuits will get bigger while
baking, the tomato can be larger than them to begin.
4. Sprinkle
tomatoes with Salad Supreme.
5. Mix
Monterey Jack/Colby cheese with mayonnaise.
Spread one heaping tsp. on top of tomato and sprinkle heavily with
parmesan cheese.
6. Bake
at 350 degrees until biscuits are done (about 15 minutes). Do not let the biscuit get too brown. Do not be skimpy with spices.
Garnish
with chopped fresh basil.
Other
Variations:
1.
Place 6 raw shrimp on top of tomato before baking
2.
Place 2 precooked slices of bacon on top of tomato
3.
Place 2 asparagus spears on top of tomato
4. all
of the above can be combined for a special tomato pie
The
Verdict:
I ate
two for brunch and they were as good as I remember - it is a dish I would recommend
to anyone who likes tomatoes. It will
not be so long before we have them again and I can imagine an egg on the next one.

Larry, Love this recipe! Very nice indeed and easy to change around a bit. Different cheeses, bacon, asparagus, etc. We will give this one a try... Stay Safe and Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
ReplyDeleteDrooling! I think they look and sound so tasty.
ReplyDeleteI think I've hand-peeled exactly one tomato in my life ... not likely to take the time to do that again. This recipe sounds incredible and a must try! Thanks for sharing it.
