Tomato Pie

(sorry, no 'baked' pictures...we devoured it before I remembered to get a picture)


1 baked pie crust (I like martha's recipe, here, bake it @ 400 for about 20-25 min)
BEFORE starting: slice the tomatoes, lay out on cooling rack, sprinkle with salt (draws out the water), layer with paper towels, and repeat. this makes the pie less soggy...


into the baked pie shell, layer these ingredients, in the following order:

pesto

sliced tomatoes (to fill the pie dish 1/2 way)

1/4 c diced, toasted walnuts

1/2 c kalamata olives

the rest of the sliced tomatoes, mounded like in the picture

cheese (combo of mozz, parm and cheddar is great)

bake at 400 for approx. 25 min.
