GINA'S SUMMER TOMATO PIE

My husband & I saw this on "Down Home with the Neelys" on The Food Network the other night & thought it looked good. Tried it last night & boy were we right. It was delicious, both hot out of the oven & when it had cooled to room temperature. We were full from dinner but there were 2 pieces still on the pan, couldn't resist & they were just as good as the first bite if not more. Hope you enjoy this too.

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (9 inch) ready-made refrigerated pie crusts
2 large yellow tomatoes, sliced 1/4-inch thick
1 large tomatoes, sliced 1/4-inch thick
8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
1/4 cup fresh basil leaf, cut up
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 deg. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Sprinkle flour on a work surface.
  • Roll out pie dough to form a 10-inch circle & place on baking sheet.
  • Overlap & alternate the different tomatoes & mozzarella (I only had red tomatoes) in the center of the dough, leaving a 3-inch border.
  • Scatter the basil leaves on top.
  • Sprinkle with salt & pepper & red pepper flakes.
  • Fold the uncovered edges of the dough inward over the filling to create a pleated crust.
  • Brush edges & top with olive oil. (Look at my pictures, watch out for holes in the edges, the water from the tomatoes will leak out.).
  • Place in the oven & bake for 35 minutes.
  • After about 10 minutes check for leaks & plug them.
  • Remove from the oven to a cutting board.
  • Slice & serve.

SUMMER TOMATO PIE

This is a simple but delicious side dish. It could also be a main course for a vegetarian. It's great for using all those wonderful summer tomatoes from the garden! You can change the cheeses to fit your taste as well as the seasoning. Blue cheese and fennel, Swiss cheese and thyme, Gouda and dill, whatever your favorites are.

Time 1h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 recipe pastry for a single 9-inch pie crust
3 tomatoes, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons salt
3 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup chopped fresh basil
½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup mayonnaise

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Press pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan; prick bottom and sides with fork.
  • Bake crust in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool completely.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place tomatoes in a single layer of a colander; sprinkle with salt. Let sit for about 10 minutes to release moisture. Blot excess moisture with a paper towel. Arrange 1 layer of tomato slices around the bottom of the cooled pie crust, overlapping the slices. Sprinkle half the garlic and half the basil onto tomato layer. Sprinkle half the Cheddar cheese and half the mozzarella cheese over basil layer. Repeat layering with remaining tomatoes, garlic, basil, Cheddar cheese, and mozzarella cheese. Spread mayonnaise over the top mozzarella cheese layer.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and bubbling, about 30 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.

SUMMER TOMATO PIE

Found this recipe from Cabot Cheese in a Southern Living magazine. I've made only slight changes. This is a great brunch or lunch dish. Great summer flavors. You will need pie weights for this recipe (dry rice or beans work perfectly).

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

15 ounces refrigerated pie crusts (two crusts total)
3 medium tomatoes, sliced
1/4 cup fresh herb, chopped (I used basil and oregano)
1/3 cup spring onion, sliced thin including some green tops
1 1/2 cups extra-sharp cheddar cheese
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place and fit pie crust in pie plate, cover with foil and top with pie weights (dry rice or beans). Bake for 8 minutes, remove, and allow to cool slightly.
  • Reduce oven temp to 350 degrees. Place sliced tomatoes paper towels to drain excess liquid for 10-15 minutes, blotting the top also.
  • In the slightly cooled, baked pie sheel, layer the sliced tomatoes, herbs, onions and cheese (in that order).
  • Mix together to mayo, lemon juice, salt and pepper and spread this mixture evenly over the cheese.
  • Place the second (unbaked) pie crust over the top and crimp the edges to seal. Use a sharp paring knife to cut four vents in the top.
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes, until top crust is golden and filling is bubbling. Let stand 10-15 minutes before serving.
