If y'all have never had a southern tomato pie then you are missing out on one of the greatest summer treats! I say summer treat because it really is the best when you have beautiful red tomatoes fresh from the garden or farmers market.
There are many recipes out there for classic southern tomato pie but personally (as a southerner) I think keeping it simple is the best!
Do yourself a favor and try this recipe!
{I might just be eating a slice of tomato pie while I write this post.}
(So my recipe isn't from the blog pictured above BUT mine does look that delicious!)
Ingredients:
Frozen Pie Crust
2-3 tomatoes
1 yellow/vidalia onion
2 cups of cheese (I use sharp cheddar & monterey jack)
1 cup of mayonnaise
salt
Directions:
Cook pie crust according to package directions.
Slice tomatoes and place on paper towels and sprinkle salt on them to pull out some of the juice. (Don't worry, your tomato pie will still be very juicy!)
Slice onions very thin.
Mix cheese and mayonnaise.
After pie crust is cooked and cooled layer onions + tomatoes twice.
(I personally prefer to start layering with onions so I have tomatoes on top but you could also start with tomatoes and only do one layer of onion and then more tomatoes-- it will all be great!)
Spread the cheese and mayo mixture on top.
Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes until the cheese is melted and turning a lovely golden brown.
How easy is that? Enjoy!
