Looking for a tomato pie recipe, pls

[JennyM]

I used to have one that I made, but I cannot find it. And I am craving it.

It was a one crust pastry, it called for tomatoes (set out in a drainer or paper towels for some time to drain the moisture) and it had a mayo topping, perhaps with parmesan cheese in it.

Does anyone have that?

TIA

Are you talking about a tomato pie made like quiche, with eggs, milk or cream, etc. in addition to the cheese? I've had something like that, but I don't remember a mayo topping.

I don't really have a 'recipe' perse. But here's how I do make mine... I will call my aunt that does, however, and get it from her and share soon!

Tomato Pie

1) Brown crust (I use Pillsbury.. they make delicious crusts!)

2) Slice several large ripe tomatos and drain the juice and pat dry.

3) Mix approx 1/2 mayo with approx 2 T grated parmesan cheese

4) Grate 1 cup mozzarella cheese

5) Layer these ingredients in the browned crust, be generous with the mozzarella (ie: grate more if necessary). Salt and pepper between layers.

6) Make sure the top layer is the monzzarella cheese. You should have only 2 or three layers of tomatos.

7) Place the oven preheated to 375 F and cook til top layer is lightly browned.

Enjoy...

I'll call my aunt and get the 'real recipe' from her as soon as possible... (since this is from memory)

Dern, now I am craving this pie!

I have never even heard of this but now my mouth is watering. A lady from work grows tomatoes and she gave me some not too long ago, they were so good. I can see this recipe calls for really good home grown tomatoes, huge red ripe big ones. I am looking forward to trying it. Geez I'm getting hungry.

This Paula Deen's recipe from Food Network. I saw the show when she made this, and it looked wonderful.

Paula Deen's Tomato Pie

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 made a tomato pie last night and it was really delicious! I have a ton of tomatoes in the garden so I had to do something with them.

I used the Paula Dean recipe with a few changes: reduced the amount of cheese and mayo to 1/2 C. of each and substituted parm for the cheddar. I also sautéed a sweet onion in place of the green onion.

Thanks for the report, KLeigh. I am just dying to make a tomato pie and the recipes on here sound wonderful. I had never heard of a tomato pie until this thread!

Savannah, I forgot to add that I blind baked the crust for about 15 min. I was afraid with all the liquid in the tomatoes that it would be soggy if I didn't. Happy baking!

Good idea! Thanks KLeigh!

No offense Rosalee but that website is really obnoxious. You need to tell Home & Garden Party that people don't appreciate their computer being taken over by a popup that asks if you want your clipboard! Geeze, it took me forever to get out of there! Gah!

Thanks for the recipe tho. (fair trade, I suppose lol)

Dern, now I am craving this pie!

Well after more than a full year, I'm pleased to say I FINALLY made this recipe, this past Friday.

It is one of the best recipes I have EVER tried, and I'm in no way a vegetarian! Tastes fabulous leftover as well.

Be SURE that you drain the tomato slices very well before making the pie. I sliced them and laid them on several thicknesses of paper towels first, for at least 20 minutes, then turned them over....pressed another few paper towels on top of them.

And I used just slightly more mayo and Parm cheese than the recipe called for. And lots of mozarella.

This is absolutely DELISH!

That's good to hear SS. Just today after shopping at Publix where even low-fat burger was $3.99/lb. I came home and told my husband we were going to have to start eating baked potatoes for dinner.

This tomato pie might be just the ticket to get us started down that road. LOL

[SavannahStar]

I hope you do try it, Dithers. I figured it would be pretty good, but it way surpassed my expectations!
