My dad loves tomato pie, and I plan to make him one on Sunday, but this is a change up way to make it that is quick and easy......

Tomato Pie

Ingredients

1 can biscuits (the kind with 5 in a can) (Hungry Jack preferred)

1 large vine ripened tomato sliced

1 small vidalia onion sliced thinly

1 green pepper sliced

1 c. sharp cheddar cheese grated

1 c. mozzarella cheese grated

1 c. mayo (USE HELLMANS OR BLUE PLATE FOR BEST RESULTS)

Directions

Press biscuits into the bottom and up the sides of a greased pie pan.

Place tomato slices in a single layer over biscuits, then place

vidalia onion in a single layer. Sprinkle green pepper over onions.

Mix cheeses and mayo then spread over top of the pie. Bake at 350

for about 30 minutes. Let stand for about 15 minutes before cutting.

It would make a great appetizer. You could probably bake it in a

square pan instead of a pie pan and cut into small squares. Just be

sure to let it stand before cutting so everything firms up. It's

very good just slightly warm or at room temp.

This recipe calls for sweetened coconut, but I don't see why it wouldn't work with fresh coconut. Here's the link if you want photo and more info.

Ingredients

14 ounces sweetened shredded coconut
14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 extra-large egg whites, at room temperature
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Directions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

Combine the coconut, condensed milk, and vanilla in a large bowl. Whip the egg whites and salt on high speed in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment until they make medium-firm peaks. Carefully fold the egg whites into the coconut mixture.

Drop the batter onto sheet pans lined with parchment paper using either a 1 3/4-inch diameter ice cream scoop, or 2 teaspoons. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until golden brown. Cool and serve.
