A Fun, Easy, and Seasonal Recipe: Tomato Pie

If you live in a similar kind of climate to me (northeastern US), then right now (August) is a fantastic time to make a tomato pie. Here's the one I made for tonight's dinner, with the filling all set up and ready for the top "crust":

The filling is tomatoes (I used a mix of red and yellow), scallions, fresh basil (mixed green and purple) and this time I added a bit of sweet corn. All of this is placed in a premade pie shell. (Feel free to use a homemade one, but the frozen crust is what makes it easy.)

Here it is with the top "crust":

The top "crust" is just shredded cheese mixed with mayonnaise to bind it together.

Here it is all done:

Instructions:

You only want to make this if you have access to really good tomatoes--homegrown or locally-grown ones, that smell nice and tomatoey and have a deep color when you cut into them. I used two big ones, each about the size of a baby's head--you want around three cups, after chopping and draining.

A while before you want to bake your pie, chop up your tomatoes and put them in a colander. (Make sure you have a bowl under the colander.) Sprinkle with salt and give them a stir, then let them sit. Stir every now and then. (You my also want to pour the liquid out of the bowl while you're at it, depending on how your colander sits in your bowl.)

I'd say let them sit at least an hour; more is fine too. You want to get as much excess liquid out as you can; otherwise your pie will be too wet.

Meanwhile, slice up your scallions--I used two, but you can adjust according to how much you like scallions. (Regular onion will also work, if you don't have scallions--just chop it up small.)

If your tomato supplier has fresh basil, it's worth it to get a big handful of that. Wash and dry it, then pick the leaves off the stems. Stack the big leaves and cut them into ribbons with (clean!) scissors. (The fresh basil is really nice in this, but dried will work. You could even go with an Italian seasoning mix, if that's what you have--the tomatoes are the star of the show here; they're the only thing you need to be picky about.)

Sweet corn is optional--today was the first time I've tried it in this dish--but it's good! I used 1 largish ear of corn; just shuck it and cut the kernels off with a knife. (If you have leftover corn-on-the-cob that's already cooked, that would probably be fine, too.)

Once the tomatoes have drained, mix in the corn kernels if you're using them. (I stirred mine in right there in the colander.)

Put the tomatoes (and corn, if you're using it) into the pie crust. I used a store-brand frozen one, the kind that comes in its own foil pan, which makes cleanup very easy.

Sprinkle the scallions (or onions) and basil on top. Shake on a little black pepper, too, if you want.

Now for the top crust! You want about two cups of shredded cheese (the pre-shredded in the bag is fine for this recipe) and 3/4 of a cup of mayonnaise. The cookbook I went off of says 1 cup cheddar, 1 cup mozzarella, and 2 tablespoons of parmesan--but you don't have to stick to that; adjust it to what cheeses you like/have on hand. This time I just used a bag of Aldi brand "Italian Blend," which is mozzarella, parmesan, and Provelone.

Just stir together the cheese and mayo in a bowl until the consistency is even, then spread it on top of your pie filling.

Pop it in the oven for 30 minutes at 350 F, and you're done! The pie is fantastic straight out of the oven, but it reheats OK, too.

Also I made tomato pie. And half way through the recipe I was about to throw it out the window.

There's so much prep involved that I'm not used to. Tomato juice everywhere. Wet paper towels all over the counter. Spices. Bacon greese. Pie dough.

But after tasting it id probably make it again. It tastes like a hardy magarita pizza. And was super tasty with bbq

Summer Tomato Pie, Sweet Corn Ribs & Shishito Peppers, Gulf Tilefish a la Plancha & Blue Crab, Banana Pudding (Shared all). Helen. Birmingham, Alabama. 7.28.2023.

NOTE TO SELF: Everything was top-notch. The tilefish had a tangy, buttery flavor that melted in my mouth, and I could have eaten the corn ribs and peppers for a few days before growing tired of them. While the tomato pie and banana pudding were both solid, I wouldn't order them again because I want to try more things. Possibly a top 10 meal contender here.

Currently ranked 1st of 35 July meals.

The fact that tomato pie is such a popular dish will never fail to confuse me.

Why the fuck did we even do that in the first place???

I’d understand moderately more if it was served hot but no??? It’s just cold sauce??? And a sprinkling of Romano?????

Like you’re telling me people look at this ice fucking cold monstrosity of sauce and bread and go “hell yeah”???

And don’t even get me STARTED on how the Rhode Island folks do it

Yall (legit just Wikipedia) are telling me you ENJOY this??? WHY IS IT WRINKLY??? I am AFRAID of that horrible strip of “pizza”

Since we’re in that shoulder season where it’s technically spring but it’s still cold enough to justify running the oven, I’m trying to make some pizzas at home. This one was the creation of my husband, as he had the idea to do a fresh take on the classic tomato pie that you find in Philadelphia and its immediate suburbs. Tomato pie is usually made on a thicker, Sicilian-style crust and it’s slathered in a robust tomato sauce with only a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese on top, and if it’s made right, it’s outstanding. 

I marinated cherry tomatoes with some roasted garlic with some salt and olive oil for at least an hour, and then they were drained thoroughly to avoid getting any unnecessary liquid on the dough itself. This baked in a hot oven on a Baking Steel, and just before it was finished I decided to sprinkle on some fresh oregano (so it wouldn’t otherwise burn in the oven) and then finished it with a flurry of Parmigiano-Reggiano while it rested. 

I feel like this one needs one more go to get it right, but M is definitely onto something with this!

Tomato Pie I

This pie is flavorful and hearty, with many different textures and tastes. In a deep-dish pastry shell, tomatoes, fresh basil, scallions, crumbled bacon, and spices are layered, then the dish is topped with grated cheese and mayonnaise. After an hour of baking, the pie can be eaten warm or cold.

Zucchini, Corn, and Tomato Pie We like this one because it looks so pretty with dabs of green zucchini, yellow corn and red tomato. These veggies are folded into a buttermilk batter and baked with cheese and egg. Great zucchini treat, anytime. 1.5 cups grated zucchini, 1 tomato chopped, 1/2 cup fresh corn kernels, 1/2 cup diced onion, 2 eggs beaten, 3/4 cup buttermilk baking mix, 3/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
