Method
 

  1. Preheat Oven → Set to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare Tomatoes → Slice tomatoes, sprinkle with salt, and let them drain on paper towels for 10–15 minutes to remove excess water.

  4. Make Cheese Mixture → In a bowl, mix cheddar, mozzarella, and mayonnaise until smooth.
  5. Spread Topping → Cover the tomato mixture with the cheese-mayo blend, spreading evenly.
  6. Bake → Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
  7. Cool & Serve → Let the pie rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing.
