Has anyone ever made a tomato pie?

Question

What's the BEST recipe you've tried?

No, tomato pie is a real thing. I've seen recipes for it and they have a delicious one at a cafe near my work. Nothing like pizza.

Answer 1

Here's the recipe my family uses. My grandmother use to make thses in the summer. Mmmmmmm !


Granny's Tomato Pie

6 to 8 fresh ripe tomatoes
6 slices bacon
1 tablespoon garlic salt
1/2 bunch green onions
2 cups mayonnaise

Fry bacon, drain, chop finely and reserve.

Peel tomatoes, slice thinly and place on paper towels to drain. Sprinkle with garlic salt.
Combine mayonnaise, cheese, green onions, salt and pepper for the topping and reserve.

Cook pie shell or shells according to directions.
In each cooked pie shell, layer the tomatoes, bacon and basil.
Cover completely with the topping.
Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes or until lightly browned.

10 fresh basil leaves, chopped
½ cup chopped green onion

First, blanch the tomatoes and slice. Place the tomatoes in the collinder to drain.

Answer 5

I've never heard of a tomato pie. Tomatoes have a tendency to soften and disintegrate when cooked, so baking them in a pie would not hold. It would come out as sauce. They're too savory to go well with a firming custard.

Answer 6

No. And I can say with certainty I never will.


Well

If I was stranded for weeks on an island and there was NO food to be had save for a tomato pie I probably would be forced to eat it, but I would wait several weeks.

Answer 7

Yeah, I did. I ate it too, looked too good to just sit there, plus I like the gritty feeling it made on my teeth. Gross, huh? They are still lined up on the stone fence at the place I made them...wow...that's old.

Answer 8

Its called a pizza. You take pepporoni,tomatoes,cheese,and place it on top of bread.
