Tomato Pie

A savory summertime Tomato Pie made by layering tomatoes slices, basil onion and a cheese spread into a pie crust and baking it until golden and bubbly. 

Ingredients

  • 5 roma tomatoes
  • 10 fresh basil leaves
  • 1/2 cup green onion
  • 1 9-inch pre-baked pie crust
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup freshly shredded cheddar cheese
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 Tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

  2. 2

    Place the tomatoes in a colander in the sink in a single layer. Sprinkle with salt and allow them to rest for 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Use a paper towel to pat-dry the tomatoes and make sure most of the excess juice is out. (You don't want wet (juicy) tomatoes or your pie will turn out soggy).

  4. 4

    Layer the tomato slices, basil, and onion in pre-baked pie shell (see my note above in the post about how I prepare the pie crust.) Season with salt and pepper. 

  5. 5

    Combine the grated cheeses and mayonnaise or Greek yogurt together. 

  6. 6

    Spread mixture on top of the tomatoes and sprinkle parmesan cheese on top. 

  7. 7

    Bake for 30 minutes or until lightly browned. Allow to rest for at least 15 minutes before cutting and serving.
