This is the 2nd time I’ve made this Tomato Pie this week. It’s just so good.

Plus, I dropped the first one onto the oven door as I took it out of the oven. OMG! I was so annoyed.

I mean I totally ate the part of the tomato pie that remained in the pie pan and didn’t land on the oven door. Shoot! I was so hungry for lunch and it was damn good!

Southern Summer Tomato Pie

Tomato Pie is a classic Southern recipe to make the in the summer.

There are so many great tomato farms near us so we have great access to an abundance of beautiful, ripe tomatoes for much for the year. 

When I come home with pounds and pounds of tomatoes, I make this Tomato Pie so that I can enjoy those ruby red tomatoes. 

You start this pie by slicing the tomatoes and baking them. This step helps remove a lot of the moisture from the tomatoes. This is important so that you have an evenly baked pie and helps keep the crust crisp. Plus, this helps concentrate the flavors of the tomatoes making this pie packed with flavor.

While the tomatoes are baking, you also par bake the pie crust. This, again, help the crust stay crisp when you are making the pie. 

When the par baked pie crust is out of the oven, sprinkle with the shredded cheddar cheese and return to the oven. This will help make a seal against the crust and the tomatoes, which is another way to keep the bottom part of the crust crisp.

After that, you just layer the basil and tomatoes into the pie crust. 

The sauce on the top of the tomatoes is really simple. It’s just some mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Parmesan cheese, and pepper.  Mix all that up, spread it on the tomatoes, top with the remaining cheddar, and then bake!

Enjoy the long days of summer and a big slice of this delicious Southern Summer Tomato Pie for dinner tonight. Yum!
