Provided by cathy tate

Categories     Other Side Dishes

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pkg piecrust
1 small red bell pepper, chopped
1/2 medium purple onion, chopped
2 clove garlic, minced
2 Tbsp olive oil
4 large eggs
1 c evaporated milk
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
8 oz monterey jack cheese, shredded
3 medium plum tomatoes, sliced
2 Tbsp fresh basil, chopped

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Fit piecrust into a 9-inch deep-dish pan. Prick bottom and sides with a fork and bake for 10 minutes. Remove and set aside. Turn oven down to 375 degrees. Saute red bell pepper, onion and garlic in olive oil for 5 minutes or until tender. Stir in basil.
  • 2. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt and pepper. Stir in sauteed vegetables and cheese. Pour into crust. Top with tomato slices and bake at 375 degrees for 45-50 minutes or until set. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
  • 3. TIP: Cover edges of crust with aluminum foil during baking to prevent them from getting too brown.

Tips:

  • Use ripe tomatoes. The riper the tomatoes, the sweeter and more flavorful your pie will be.
  • Don't overcook the tomatoes. Overcooked tomatoes will lose their flavor and become mushy. Cook them just until they are softened and juicy.
  • Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is one of the main ingredients in this pie, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that you enjoy. A sharp cheddar cheese or a mixture of cheddar and Parmesan cheese works well.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworked dough will be tough and chewy. Mix the dough just until it comes together, then stop.
  • Use a preheated oven. A preheated oven will help ensure that the pie cooks evenly.

Conclusion:

This savory tomato pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover tomatoes. With its flaky crust, creamy filling, and juicy tomatoes, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
