Tomato Pie Recipe

Here’s a recipe from my latest Kindle book The Tomato Cookbook: Tomato Recipes From Soup To Grilled. It’s a great little tomato pie that’s perfect for a light lunch or an appetizer when you have guests over. What better way to show off your homegrown tomatoes?

I love this recipe because it is so simple. It lets the fresh tomatoes shine. It’s one of those southern staples that may sound a little odd if you didn’t grow up with them, but you’ll quickly change your mind when you taste the first bite.

To make it easy, I suggest you use a pre-made pie crust, but you can certainly make your own. Here’s my favorite homemade pie crust recipe.

Southern Tomato Pie

Ingredients

• 1 pie crust (unbaked)
• 4 large tomatoes
• 1 tsp of salt
• dash of pepper
• 1/3 cup mayonnaise
• 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese
• 1 minced garlic clove

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 450 F.
2. Bake your pie crust for 5 minutes. This will keep your pie from getting too soggy later.
3. While the crust is baking, slice your tomatoes.
4. Remove the pie crust from the oven and lower the temperature to 350F.
5. Layer your tomato slices in the pie shell and sprinkle the salt and pepper on top.
6. Mix your mayonnaise with the cheese and minced garlic and spread it over the tomatoes.
7. Return the pie to the oven and cook for 40 minutes or until your pie crust is golden brown and the tomatoes are fully cooked.
