Garlic Basil Tomato Pie Recipes

TOMATO BASIL PIE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Spray 9-inch glass pie plate with cooking spray. In 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook onion in oil 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned. Remove from heat.
• In medium bowl, place Bisquick mix; cut in butter, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through mixture in opposite directions), until crumbly. Add water; stir vigorously until soft dough forms. Using fingers dipped in Bisquick mix, press dough on bottom and up side of pie plate, forming edge on rim of plate.
• Sprinkle 1/2 cup of the cheese in crust. Arrange half of the tomato slices over cheese. Sprinkle with half each of the flour, onion, chopped basil, salt and pepper. Repeat layers. In small bowl, mix mayonnaise and remaining 1 cup cheese; spread over top of pie to within 1 inch of edge.
• Bake 24 to 26 minutes or until lightly browned. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting. Garnish with additional basil.

SUMMER TOMATO PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Press pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan; prick bottom and sides with fork.
• Bake crust in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool completely.
• Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place tomatoes in a single layer of a colander; sprinkle with salt. Let sit for about 10 minutes to release moisture. Blot excess moisture with a paper towel. Arrange 1 layer of tomato slices around the bottom of the cooled pie crust, overlapping the slices. Sprinkle half the garlic and half the basil onto tomato layer. Sprinkle half the Cheddar cheese and half the mozzarella cheese over basil layer. Repeat layering with remaining tomatoes, garlic, basil, Cheddar cheese, and mozzarella cheese. Spread mayonnaise over the top mozzarella cheese layer.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and bubbling, about 30 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.

SIMPLE GARLIC AND BASIL PESTO

Steps:

• Place the basil in a blender. Pour in about 1 tablespoon of the oil, and blend basil into a paste. Gradually add pine nuts, Brazil nuts, Parmesan cheese, garlic, chili powder, and remaining oil. Continue to blend until smooth.

SOUTHERN TOMATO BASIL PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Prepare the pie crust by mixing the flour and salt in a bowl.
• Add the cold butter and shortening. Using a pastry cutter (trust me, it's worth the couple of bucks), cut the fats into the flour mixture until it resembles small peas.
• Using a tablespoon, add a little water to the flour mixture at a time, using a fork to stir everything together until the dough just comes together. It should not be smooth and soft like cookie dough, but instead a little more flaky until you squeeze it together.
• Place the dough between two pieces of plastic wrap, shaping it into a ball.
• Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out into a circle.
• Place in a pie dish and trim any overhanging dough, leaving a good inch around the lip. Crimp this dough and prick the bottom and sides of the pie crust.
• Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and 1/4 cup mozzarella and place in a 450 degree F oven for 10 minutes.
• Remove from the oven to cool while you prepare the filling.
• Slice the tomatoes thin and place on a double layer of paper towels
• Lightly salt tomato slices and leave them for 10 minutes. The salt will pull out excess water which the paper towels will sop up so you don't have a wet pie.
• Combine 1/4 cup cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Sprinkle tomato slices with the garlic powder, oregano, and black pepper to taste. Layer 1/3 of the tomato slices, 1/3 of the cheese mixture, and 1/3 of the basil. Repeat layers.
• In a small bowl combine remaining 1/4 cup cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup mayonnaise. Dot over the final layer of tomatoes.
• Reduce oven heat to 350 degrees F and bake the pie uncovered for 30-35 minutes. Cool before serving.

GARLIC BASIL TOMATO PIE

Steps:

• Bake the piecrust at 375 degrees 10 minutes, or until light brown.
• Meanwhile, in small saucepan, combine oil and garlic.
• Cook over low heat just until heated, stirring occasionally.
• Arrange half of the provolone cheese over the partially baked crust.
• Sprinkle with half of the basil and top with half of the tomatoes.
• Sprinkle with half of the Parmesan cheese.
• Repeat layers.
• Finally, spoon garlic mixture over pie.
• Bake at 375 degrees for 15-18 minutes or until cheese is melted and crust is deep golden brown.
• Let stand 5 minutes.

FRESH SAVORY TOMATO PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line an 8 inch or 9 inch pie pan with a homemade pie crust OR use a purchased pie crust. Regular or gluten-free crusts both work.
• Prick the crust all over with the tines of a fork and bake until lightly browned (8-12 minutes; check frequently after 8 minutes so it does not brown too much). If using a store bought crust follow the blind baking instructions on the package.Remove the crust and set aside. Leave the oven on.
• While the pie crust is cooking, place all the tomatoes in a medium sized mixing bowl.
• In a separate small mixing bowl, mix together the salt, pepper, garlic and basil. Sprinkle over tomatoes, gently stir to incorporate with the tomatoes and let sit for 10 minutes.
• In another medium mixing bowl, combine the cheeses and bread crumbs. Toss to fully combine.
• Sprinkle a light layer of the bread crumb-cheese mixture in the bottom of the prepared pie crust. Using a slotted spoon, add a layer of the tomatoes on top of the bread crumbs and cheese. Continue layering in this way, ending with a sprinkling of the bread crumbs and cheese.
• Bake until warmed through, about 20 to 30 minutes. Serve immediately.

TOMATO PIE

Steps:

• Prep: Preheat the oven to 450F. Prep a 9" pie dish with the pie crust.
• Prep tomatoes: Salt the tomatoes and set them aside to drain on a paper towel or kitchen towel lined plate for about 10 minutes. Carefully squeeze as much excess moisture out of the tomatoes with paper towel or the kitchen towel.
• Layer: the tomatoes, onion, and basil into the pie shell.
• Cheese mixture: Mix the cheeses, mayonnaise, garlic powder, hot sauce, salt, and pepper together. Spread this mixture over the tomatoes.
• Bake: for 25-30 minutes or until browned and bubbly. Let the pie cool down fully before slicing and serving.

THE BEST TOMATO PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350ºF and if making prepare the pie dough.
• Slice the tomatoes to about 1/4-inch in thickness and arrange them in a single layer on a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Coat the tomatoes in salt and cover again with another layer of paper towels. Let sit for 10 minutes.
• In a medium bowl combine the shredded cheese, mayonnaise, fresh basil, and spices together until mixed well. Set aside.
• Place the 9-inch pie shell into your pie dish and arrange a single layer of sliced tomatoes on the bottom. Cover the tomatoes with half of the cheese mixture and repeat this step.
• Layer the last of the tomato slices on top, overlapping is okay, and firmly press them into the pie. This helps the ingredients come together.
• Place the pie into the oven and bake for 35 to 45 minutes, until the cheese begins to bubble and the crust turns a golden brown.
