Anyone have a good recipe for a Tomato Pie?
Green or red? I make a tasty green tomato pie that people swear is apple pie. It is awesome warm with french vanilla ice cream!
I am open to all types! Please share.
No but I want to try it! Paula Deen made it recently on her show... Tomato Pie Recipe : Paula Deen : Recipes : Food Network
Ingredients
Directions
- 4 tomatoes, peeled and sliced
- 10 fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 1/2 cup chopped green onion
- 1 (9-inch) prebaked deep dish pie shell
- 1 cup grated mozzarella
- 1 cup grated cheddar
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- Salt and pepper
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Place the tomatoes in a colander in the sink in 1 layer. Sprinkle with salt and allow to drain for 10 minutes.
Layer the tomato slices, basil, and onion in pie shell. Season with salt and pepper. Combine the grated cheeses and mayonnaise together. Spread mixture on top of the tomatoes and bake for 30 minutes or until lightly browned.
To serve, cut into slices and serve warm.
I am a good cook but not much of a baker so I have a question about the pie shell. Recipe says a 9" pre-baked pie shell. How long do I cook the shell for and does it need to be fully cooled before adding the tomato slices?
Are you making the dough from scratch? If not, follow the directions on the package and remember to poke holes all over with a fork so it doesn't puff up and/or crack
Let me find my cook book and I will share it with you!
Ha! No way from scratch! I was really hoping the answer would be "oh, you can buy it pre-cooked".. I can at least follow directions on the package!!! I hope.
Haha good luck!
That tomato pie looked so good on her show a couple weeks ago, let me know how it turns out
