Southern Tomato Pie

The first tomato pie recipe in Southern Living appeared in June 1978 which is a popular recipe magazine.


This delicious recipe was created and published by Mrs. Rose Welsh from Seabrook, Maryland, it included cheddar and provolone cheeses and we adapted it a little differently than that recipe.


Her original recipe called for the tomatoes to be coated in flour and sautéed in hot oil before being placed in the pie which I take the easy way out.


You can certainly do that first before adding the tomatoes to your pie.

1. cooked Italian sweet or hot sausage
2. chopped pepperoni
3. chopped capicola(hot ham)
4. prosciutto or crispy bacon

This is a southern-style pie using tomato and mayo in a pie crust. Delicious any time of the day and a light meal.

Ingredients

• 1 9-inch pie crust, unbaked (I prefer a deep dish with more crust) or an oil-sprayed 12-cup muffin tin
• 4-5 Roma or beefsteak tomatoes, vine ripe (or use grape tomatoes when making the mini version)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese, grated
• 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
• 1teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup butter cracker crumbs ritz or townhouse club
• 1 cup mayonnaise

Instructions

1. Place sliced tomatoes on a double layer of paper towels and sprinkle with salt.
2. Allow to rest10 minutes, and dry very well with more paper towels to absorb the water.
3. Add by layering the tomatoes and basil in the pie shell, reserving some slices of tomato for the top of the pie.
4. In a small bowl, stir together the mayo, garlic, cheeses, and black pepper.
5. Place this mixture on top.
6. Sprinkle the top with Ritz cracker crumbs and top with reserved tomato slices.
7. Bake in a 350-degree preheated oven until golden brown and bubbly, 40-45 minutes.
8. Note: for muffin-sized pie just spray the tin line the tin with pie crust and proceed to fill them the same way as the recipe is written. Baking time will vary between 25 and 30 minutes depending on the size of the muffin tin.
