Description
This irresistible tomato pie is layered with juicy tomatoes, creamy cheese, and herbs in a buttery crust—your go-to comfort food dish.
Ingredients
1 9-inch pie crust (pre-baked)
4 medium ripe tomatoes, sliced
1 tsp salt (for drawing out tomato moisture)
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Prepare Tomatoes: Preheat oven to 350°F. Place sliced tomatoes on paper towels, sprinkle with salt, and let sit for 10-15 minutes. Pat dry.
Assemble and Bake: Spread Dijon mustard (if using) in the bottom of the pre-baked pie crust. Layer half the tomatoes, followed by basil and green onions. Repeat. In a bowl, mix cheese, mayo, garlic powder, and black pepper. Spread over the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden and bubbling. Let cool 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
For best texture, use meaty tomatoes like Roma or heirlooms and remove seeds.
Add a handful of crumbled bacon for a smoky upgrade.
Great served warm or at room temperature—perfect for brunch or potlucks.
Fresh thyme or oregano can be substituted for basil.
