EGGPLANT TOMATO PIE
I originally found this recipe using cheddar cheese and plain breadcrumbs. I have switched it up using flavored breadcrumbs and Italian cheeses. I have also added the light breadcrumb layer on the bottom of the pan because the first time I made it it was too wet. The breadcrumbs helped absorb excess moisture. I also slice my...

EGGPLANT AND TOMATO PIE
Steps:
- 1. Line a lightly oiled 9- or 10-inch tart pan with the dough. Using a fork, pierce at regular intervals to allow for even baking. Refrigerate or freeze until ready to prebake and fill. 2. Heat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Slice the eggplant about 1/3 inch thick and toss with salt to taste and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Line 1 to 2 baking sheets with foil and brush the foil with olive oil. Lay the eggplant slices on the foil in 1 layer. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes, until the slices are soft when pierced with a knife and browned in spots. Remove from the oven and carefully fold the foil up over the eggplant slices. Crimp the edges of the foil and allow the eggplant to steam for another 15 to 20 minutes. It should now be completely cooked. Turn the oven down to 350 degrees. 3. Beat together the eggs in a medium bowl. Set the tart pan on a baking sheet to allow for easy handling. Using a pastry brush lightly brush the bottom of the crust with the beaten egg and place in the oven for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside. 4. Whisk the milk into the eggs. Add salt (I usually use about 1/2 teaspoon) and pepper. Spread 1/4 cup tomato sauce over the bottom of the crust. Top with a layer of eggplant slices. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon one third of the remaining sauce over the eggplant and sprinkle with thyme, Parmesan, and half of the Gruyère. Repeat the layers one or two more times, depending on the size of your eggplant slices, ending with the Gruyère. Pour on the egg and milk mixture. It should seep down into the layers; if it looks like it's not moving and going to overflow the crust, use a fork to create some holes. Arrange the sliced tomatoes on top and sprinkle remaining thyme over the tomatoes. Drizzle on 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Place in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, until bubbling and browned on the top and edges. Remove from the heat and allow to sit for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve hot, warm, or room temperature.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, firm eggplants. This will ensure that they are less bitter and have a better texture.
- Slice the eggplants evenly. This will help them cook evenly.
- Salt the eggplant slices and let them rest for 30 minutes. This will help to draw out some of the bitterness.
- Use a variety of toppings. This will add flavor and texture to your pie.
- Don't overcook the pie. The eggplant should be tender, but still have a little bit of a bite to it.
Conclusion:
Eggplant tomato pie is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover eggplant and tomatoes. With so many different variations, there is sure to be an eggplant tomato pie recipe that everyone will enjoy.
