Time 50m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 frozen pie crust (thawed)
2 1/2 cups zucchini (cut into thin rounds, about 2 large zucchini)
3 heirloom tomatoes (I like to use a mix of purple, orange and red, thin sliced)
1 onion (small and cut in half and thin sliced)
3 ounces parmesan cheese, grated
4 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
4 ounces mayonnaise
1 cup dried breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons fresh parsley
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon olive oil, to cook the zucchini
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Pie crust -- Preheat oven to 450 degrees and unfold your thawed pie crust in a pie plate and pork a few holes in it before baking. Bake 5-8 minutes to blind bake or slightly brown before adding the filling. Just lightly brown. Follow the directions of the pie crust.
  • Vegetables -- Pre-cook the zucchini. I like to just bake on a cookie sheet lined with foil or parchment paper for 5-10 minutes. I drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper and just spread out and bake at 400 degrees, until slightly cooked but not too soft. You just want them to get a head start is all.
  • Make the pie -- Put the zucchini slices on the bottom of the pie crust after it comes out of the oven and slightly cooled. Top the zucchini with the thin onion rings, and now top with the heirloom tomatoes, it is fun to alternate the colors if you have them. If not, just layer them slightly overlapping to top the zucchini.
  • Cheese mixture -- In a small bowl mix the cheese, mayo, parsley, thyme, salt and pepper.
  • Spread the mixture over tomatoes. In a small bowl, melt the tablespoon of butter in the microwave and then add the bread crumbs and mix well. Top the tomato pie with the bread crumbs and bake 15-20 minutes at 425 degrees until golden brown.

Tips for Making Aunt Ina's Tomato Zucchini Pie:

  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet. This will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the crust from sticking.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet. Leave some space between the zucchini slices so that they can cook evenly.
  • Use a combination of grated and sliced zucchini. This will give the pie a variety of textures.
  • Don't overcook the zucchini. It should be tender but still have a slight crunch.
  • Use a good quality cheese. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the pie.
  • Let the pie cool slightly before serving. This will help the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

Aunt Ina's Tomato Zucchini Pie is a delicious and easy-to-make summer dish. It's perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and it's also a great way to use up fresh zucchini from your garden. With its simple ingredients and rustic charm, this pie is sure to become a family favorite.
