Tomato Pie image

Family recipe handed down. Every time I make this for a gathering, I am asked for the recipe by everyone!! Use only the freshest tomatoes for this, if you can get true "Hanover" tomatoes you'll love this even more! What a way to use all those summer tomatoes, yummm!!! Even better the second day....if there is any left!

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (9 inch) deep dish pie shells, unbaked
4 -5 large tomatoes, peeled and thickly sliced
1 -2 vidalia onion, sliced thin and separated
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced (or powder to taste)
3/4 cup mayonnaise (Dukes!)
2 cups cheddar cheese, grated
1/4 lb lean bacon, fried and crumbled (optional)

Steps:

  • Spread sliced tomatoes on paper towels and let sit for about 20 minutes to remove excess liquids. You can sprinkle with salt at this point if using salt.
  • Bake pie shell for 10 min at 375 (prick w/ fork first). Remove from oven.
  • Layer tomatoes and onion rings in shell, sprinkling each layer with pepper, basil and garlic (and bacon if you choose touse!).
  • Combine mayonnaise and cheese.
  • Spread over tomatoes.
  • Bake at 350 for 35 minutes or until pie is browned and bubbly.
  • Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
  • **Note it is important to SPREAD the mayo mixture over entire pie, don't just "dollop" it on --
  • **Note you may also need to tent with aluminum foil about half-way through cooking to keep crust from getting too brown.
