Tomato Basil Egg Pie Recipes

RUSTIC TOMATO BASIL PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F; line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, garlic, and lemon juice; season with salt and pepper.
• Season tomatoes lightly with salt and pepper.
• Spread the dough out on the prepared baking sheet and brush with about 1 tablespoon of the garlic mayonnaise all the way to the edge.
• Arrange about half the tomatoes on the dough, leaving a 2-inch border (tomatoes can overlap).
• Scatter basil over tomatoes.
• Made a second layer of tomatoes and basil.
• Fold the edges of the dough toward the center (will not cover filling); brush with garlic mayonnaise to help secure the folds in the crust.
• Drizzle a teaspoon of olive oil on the tomatoes and lightly season with salt and pepper.
• Bake until golden brown, about 30 to 40 minutes; let set for 30 minutes to allow tomato juices to redistribute.
• Cut the cooled pie into wedges and serve each with a dollop of the remaining garlic mayonnaise.

TOMATO PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the tomatoes in a colander in the sink in a single layer. Sprinkle with salt and allow them to rest for 10 minutes.
• Use a paper towel to pat-dry the tomatoes and make sure most of the excess juice is out. (You don't want wet (juicy) tomatoes or your pie will turn out soggy).
• Layer the tomato slices, basil, and onion in pre-baked pie shell (see my note above in the post about how I prepare the pie crust.) Season with salt and pepper.
• Combine the grated cheeses and mayonnaise or Greek yogurt together.
• Spread mixture on top of the tomatoes and sprinkle parmesan cheese on top.
• Bake for 30 minutes or until lightly browned. Allow to rest for at least 15 minutes before cutting and serving.

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.

TOMATO AND BASIL PIE

Steps:

• Unfold piecrust according to package directions. Place in a 9-inch quiche or pie dish. Prebake according to package directions. Remove from oven. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup Mozzarella cheese. Adjust oven to 375°F.
• Cut tomatoes into wedges, drain on paper towels. Arrange wedges on top of melted cheese in the baked pie shell.
• In a food processor bowl, combine basil and garlic; process until coarsely chopped. Sprinkle over tomatoes.
• In a medium mixing bowl, combine remaining Mozzarella cheese, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese and pepper. Spoon cheese over top, spreading evenly to cover basil mixture.
• Bake at 375°F for 35-40 minutes, or until top is golden and bubbly. Serve warm. Sprinkle with basil leaves if desired.

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.
