Fresh Tomato Biscuits
My sister visited Asheville recently and brought with her a hankering for fresh tomato biscuits. She got the recipe from a 96 yr old friend in Burlington, NC. Using fresh ripe tomatoes from her neighbor’s garden and good old-fashioned mayo, she whipped up phenomenal fresh tomato biscuits. Delish. When I got back to the office, I googled the recipe, and low and behold, it’s from an old Southern Living issue. How appropriate.
FRESH TOMATO BISCUITSAuthor’s Note: While I get the canned biscuits (fast and easy), if you have the time and ingredients, try to make these flaky biscuits from scratch, and use top ingredients from your local farmer’s markets and food coops.
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
1/4 cup shredded fresh basil
1 (16.3-ounce) can refrigerated flaky biscuits
2 medium-size tomatoes, thinly sliced
Preparation Combine first 4 ingredients. Set aside. Press each biscuit into a 4-inch circle. Place biscuit circles on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake at 400° for 6 minutes. Remove from oven and spread each biscuit evenly with about 2 teaspoons mayonnaise mixture. Top evenly with tomato slices. Bake at 400° for 6 more minutes or until mayonnaise mixture is bubbly. Serve immediately!
