Besto Pesto

Had to name it this! Made these for all our adult children and it was a hit. Great for the holidays and so very easy.

1/2 (15 oz) package refrigerated piecrusts *(see below)

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

5 plum totatoes, sliced

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tables basil pesto

1/3 teas freshly ground pepper

3 tables chopped fresh basil

Unroll piecrust on a lightly greased baking sheet. Roll into a 12 ince circle. Brush outer 1 inch of crust with water. Fold edges up and crimp. Prick bottom.

Bake at 425 for 8 to 10 min. Remove from oven. Sprinkle with 1 cup mozzarealla cheese. Cool 15 min. Arrange tomato slices over cheese.

Stir together remaining mozzarella, mayo and next 3 ingredients and spread over tomato slices.

Bake at 375 for 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from oven. Sprinkle with basil

*I used a can a crescent rolls instead of the pie crusts. It was a little thiner and flakier than the pie crust. Cool about 5 min before trying to cut this into squares to serve.
