Directions:
Preheat oven to 350º. Grease a 13x9 inch baking dish with olive oil or butter. Heat the 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, 4-5 minutes. Add the salt and pepper to taste, remove from the heat and set aside.

Crush 2 sleeves of Ritz crackers by hand or in a food processor. Reserve 1/2 cup for the topping. Place half of the remaining cracker crumbs in the bottom of the baking dish and pour 1 can of the tomatoes, with juice, over the crumbs. Layer half of the sautéed onions on top of the tomatoes and repeat the layering process using the rest of the tomatoes and onions. Sprinkle the remaining cracker crumbs over the tomato mixture.

In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese and basil. Spread over the layers and sprinkle the reserved 1/2 cup cracker crumbs on top. Bake for 30-40 minutes, until the top is golden brown.

This recipe comes from Mary Mac's Tea Room in Atlanta. If you haven't eaten there before, you really should! I can remember Mother (Nana Kelly) going to luncheons there when we lived in Atlanta. It's an institution.
