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.
