Heirloom Tomato Pie image

I'm glad the first time I tried tomato pie is was this recipe...awesomely good! I'm in love! I used my cornmeal butter crust recipe #474253, substituted Planko for bread crumbs, used fresh lemon basil and used Provalone cheese. When I fliped the tomatoes I put them on clean dry paper towels for another 10 minutes; then blotted them dry. Got this from Family Circle magazine August 2013.

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/2 lbs heirloom tomatoes, sliced 1/4 inch thick
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 refrigerated pie crust
1/4 cup plain breadcrumbs
8 ounces mozzarella cheese, fresh, sliced 1/8 inch thick
1/2 cup fresh basil leaf
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
fresh cracked pepper
1 egg, beaten (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375. Placed sliced tomatoes in a single layer on paper towels. Sprinkle one side with 1/4 tsp of the salt; let stand for 10 minutes. Gently pat salted side of tomatoes with paper towels to absorb some of the moisture. Flip tomatoes and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 tsp salt.
  • Meanwhile, fit piecrust into a 9-inch pie plate. Sprinkle bread crumbs evenly on the bottom. Place half the mozzarella over the bread crumbs, along with a third of the tomatoes and a third of the basil. Sprinkle with 2 tbsp of the Parmesan. Layer with a third of the tomatoes, a third of the basil and remaining mozzarella. Layer with remaining tomatoes, basil and parmesan. Season with pepper and if desired, brush edges of crust with beaten egg.
  • Bake at 375 for 40 to 45 minutes, until crust is browned. Cool 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.
  • Note: Pie will have moisture. For a less wet pie, seed the tomatoes.
