Every year I plant tomatoes and just when they’re starting to ripen we start to have frost. You’d think I’d learn. I harvest what I can, bring it in, and ripen it in the window. Not that I needed reminding, but DH noted we had a lot of tomatoes we needed to use. I mumbled something about making tomato sauce.
DH said, “Tomato pie!”
Tomato pie?? Though neither of us had heard of it, I found a bunch of recipes online. Since I had a ready made pie crust I decided to give it a try. The result is above. Tomatoes, fresh basil, green onions…topped with a mixture of cheese and mayonnaise. I’m up for the occasional kitchen adventure.
This is the recipe I used. Would I do it again? Probably not this way. I like mayonnaise, in its place. Like on a sandwich or mixed with tuna. Across the top of a pie? Even with cheese, not so much.
I would never have thought of š pie. I hope mine grow as well as yours
Those tomatoes look great and I know they are definitely tasty. At least you gave the recipe it a try. I think I would have made some salsa and then a grilled cheese sandwich. Maybe that would be tonight’s supper. Salsa will have to be from a jar but that’s ok. š
I was with you until you said mayonnaise. Occasionally for their pie of the week I believe Pane d’ Amore does a Tomato Torte (savory).
It looks like you got a good amount of them this year.
The tomatoes look great though!
The tomatoes look delicious Kay, so perfect for caprese salad. The pie looks good though, as you say, minus the mayonnaise š
