In large bowl or mixer, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut butter into flour mixture until it looks like crumbs. Stir in the milk to make a springy dough.

On a floured board, roll out half the dough and fit to pie plate. Top with tomatoes, sprinkle with basil and chives and 1/2 the cheese. Spread mayo on cheese, then remaining cheese.
