TOMATO PIE

I don’t have my own garden to care for (it’s still on my bucket list), but every summer I like to go to Farmer’s markets and buy a big box of fresh tomatoes. I’ll make a big batch of our favorite homemade salsa and I usually end up canning tomatoes and making this amazing tomato pie!

If you’ve never tried tomato pie, you absolutely have to! It’s a southern dish that is one of my favorites–especially when it’s made with fresh garden tomatoes.


HOW TO MAKE TOMATO PIE:
Start by pre-baking your pie shell for a few minutes. I highly suggest using a homemade pie crust for this recipe, not just because it tastes better, but because it will not brown as quickly as a store-bought crust.

I make this recipe for perfect pie crust, and I follow the instructions at the bottom of the post for blind baking the crust by putting parchment paper and pie weights down on the pie crust and baking for just 15-20 minutes. (If using a store-bought crust, only bake for a few minutes, and probably even less than instructed on the package. Store-bought crusts are thinner and will brown faster.) Then I continue with this recipe.

I think roma tomatoes work best for this recipe, but you can use any tomatoes you have on hand.


Ingredients

  • 5 roma tomatoes , peeled and sliced
  • 10 fresh basil leaves , chopped
  • 1/2 cup green onion (or red onion), chopped
  • 1 9-inch pre-baked pie crust
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup freshly shredded cheddar cheese
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise (or half mayo, half Greek yogurt)
  • 2 Tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  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. 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).
