How To Make Tomato Pie?

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F / 175°C.
2. Prepare Tomatoes: Blanch the tomatoes, then peel, slice, and place them in a colander to drain.
3. Prepare Cheese Mixture: In a medium bowl, mix the mayonnaise, cheddar cheese, and mozzarella cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Assemble Pie: Layer the tomato slices, basil, and green onion in the prebaked pie shell. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
5. Top with Cheese Mixture: Spread the mayonnaise and cheese mixture evenly over the layered tomatoes.
6. Bake: Place the pie in the oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned.
7. Serve: Let the pie cool slightly, then cut into slices and serve warm.

Recipe Tips:

• Blanch and Drain Tomatoes Well: This step keeps your pie from getting watery and makes it taste better.
• Use Fresh Herbs and Green Onions: Fresh basil and onions bring more flavor to the dish than dried or packaged ones.
• Layer Evenly: Spread the tomatoes, basil, and onions in a balanced way for a perfect taste in every bite.
• Spread the Cheese Mixture Evenly: This adds creamy flavor, so cover the top well for the best results.
• Let the Pie Cool Before Serving: A few minutes to cool helps set the pie, making it easier to slice and serve.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: First, let the leftover tomato pie cool to room temperature. Then, cover it tightly or place it in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
• Reheat: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the tomato pie on a baking sheet and cover it loosely with foil to prevent over-browning. Heat for about 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through.
