Categories     vegetarian     おせち     brunch     dinner party     Summer     baking     brunch     dinner     lunch     main dish

Time 3h

Yield 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 piece perfect pie crust, or 1 refrigerated pie crust (from a 14-oz box)
All-purpose flour, for dusting
2 3/4 lb. medium tomatoes
1 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 c. mayonnaise
1 large egg, plus 1 egg yolk
2 tsp. hot sauce (optional)
8 oz. shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 c. crumbled blue cheese
3 scallions, chopped
2 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
2 tbsp. chopped fresh dill
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
1 1/2 tbsp. plain yellow cornmeal
Fresh herbs (such as dill, parsley or chives), for garnish

Steps:

  • Roll 1 ball of pie dough into a 13-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Transfer the crust to a 9-inch deep-dish pie pan. Trim the edges so the crust hangs over the pie pan by 1/2-inch. Tuck the edges of the crust under to be even with edge of the pie pan and press all around with the tines of a fork. Place the crust in the refrigerator for 1 hour (or in the freezer for 30 minutes).
  • Meanwhile, slice the tomatoes crosswise into ¼-inch thick slices. Using your fingers, push out as many of the watery tomato seeds as you can. Lay the slices flat on a paper towel-lined sheet tray and sprinkle all over with the kosher salt. Let drain for 30 minutes, then pat very dry.
  • While the tomatoes are draining, in a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, egg, egg yolk and hot sauce (if using). Stir in the cheddar cheese, blue cheese, scallions, parsley, dill and black pepper.
  • Preheat the oven to 425˚. Sprinkle the cornmeal over the bottom of the crust. Pat the tomato slices dry, once again, then place 1/3 of the tomatoes in the bottom of the pie crust, overlapping them slightly to fit. Top with ½ of the mayonnaise mixture. Repeat with another layer of tomatoes and another layer of mayo mixture. Place the remaining tomatoes on top, pressing the last layer gently into the mayo mixture. Bake for 20 minutes.
  • Remove the pie from the oven and wrap just the edges of the crust with foil. Reduce the oven temperature to 375˚ and bake until the mayo mixture is puffed and golden brown and the center is no longer wobbly, 30 minutes more. Let cool for 1½ hours.
  • Top with additional herbs, if desired, then slice and serve.

SOUTHERN TOMATO PIE



Southern Tomato Pie image

Tomato slices are juicy and mix in well with the creamy/cheesy "custard" in this Southern-inspired tomato pie. The blind baking method helps keep the crust nice and crunchy on the bottom.

Provided by Jasmine

Categories     Savory Pies

Time 2h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

½ (14.1 ounce) package refrigerated pie crusts, at room temperature
3 medium tomatoes
1 ¼ teaspoons kosher salt, divided
½ cup mayonnaise
2 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 ½ cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, divided
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 large clove garlic, minced
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon thinly sliced fresh basil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Fit pie crust inside a 9-inch pie plate, pressing into the bottom and up the sides of the plate. Fold crust edges under; crimp as desired. Place a piece of parchment paper over crust in pie plate, leaving a 3-inch overhang. Fill with pie weights or dried beans.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Carefully remove parchment paper and pie weights. Continue baking until crust is light golden brown, 5 to 8 minutes more. Transfer to a wire rack; cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Meanwhile, slice tomatoes crosswise into 1/4-inch thick slices; arrange tomato slices in a single layer on paper towels. Sprinkle with 3/4 teaspoon of the salt; let stand for 20 minutes. Pat tomato slices dry with paper towels.
  • Whisk together mayonnaise and cream cheese until combined and smooth. Fold in 1 1/4 cups Cheddar cheese, egg, flour, garlic, cayenne, black pepper, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt until combined.
  • Spread half of the Cheddar mixture in the pie crust. Layer with 1/3 of the tomato slices in slightly overlapping circles. Repeat procedure with remaining Cheddar mixture and another third of tomato slices. Top with remaining tomato slices in slightly overlapping circles. Sprinkle with Parmesan and remaining 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese.
  • Bake pie in the preheated oven until filling is set and lightly browned on top, 30 to 35 minutes, tenting crust with aluminum foil to prevent excess browning, if needed. Let stand for at least 30 minutes before serving. Garnish with thinly sliced basil before serving.

Tips:

  • Use ripe, in-season tomatoes: This will ensure the best flavor and texture in your pie.
  • Don't overcook the tomatoes: You want them to be soft but still hold their shape.
  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet: This will help to evenly cook the pie and give it a nice crust.
  • Let the pie cool slightly before slicing and serving: This will help to prevent the filling from falling out.
  • Serve with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt: This will add a creamy, tangy flavor to the pie.
