Gina's Summer Tomato Pie

"My husband & I saw this on "Down Home with the Neelys" on The Food Network the other night & thought it looked good. Tried it last night & boy were we right. It was delicious, both hot out of the oven & when it had cooled to room temperature. We were full from dinner but there were 2 pieces still on the pan, couldn't resist & they were just as good as the first bite if not more. Hope you enjoy this too."

directions

  • Preheat oven to 375 deg. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Sprinkle flour on a work surface.
  • Roll out pie dough to form a 10-inch circle & place on baking sheet.
  • Overlap & alternate the different tomatoes & mozzarella (I only had red tomatoes) in the center of the dough, leaving a 3-inch border.
  • Scatter the basil leaves on top.
  • Sprinkle with salt & pepper & red pepper flakes.
  • Fold the uncovered edges of the dough inward over the filling to create a pleated crust.
  • Brush edges & top with olive oil. (Look at my pictures, watch out for holes in the edges, the water from the tomatoes will leak out.).
  • Place in the oven & bake for 35 minutes.
  • After about 10 minutes check for leaks & plug them.
  • Remove from the oven to a cutting board.
  • Slice & serve.

  1. This was yummy and easy-nice way to use all those tomatoes from the yard. Will make this again and again. I think this would also be nice served as part of a brunch.
     
  2. DH and I really enjoyed this. We were looking for something to use up our over abundance of tomatoes from the garden and this sounded differant. So glad we found this. I used a prepared pie crust, and all red tomatoes except for one tomatillo that added a little extra flavor. Used shredded mozzarell as that's what I had on hand. Other than that made just as directed and it came out wonderful. We will be making this again. Thanks Jackie for a very nice recipe.
     
  3. Vary tasty. Made using only red tomatoes and used 4 as they were out of the yard and only medium size. Found the ready made crust to be just a smidgen to sweet . Over all a great taste and a good way to use some of those nice ripe tomatoes. Thanks so much for the post.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm from Ohio & my husband's from Oklahoma. We met & married in Washington, DC. Soon we moved to Oklahoma & lived there for 20 years, raising our 2 daughters. John is an electrical engineer & we had our own consulting firm there. In 1996, a year after our youngest graduated from high school, John took a job with an international company, & I retired. We took to the road. We lived in Puerto Rico, Panama, Texas, Montana, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Colorado & California. We'd be in each place about 6 to 8 months while he built a substation, then we'd be off again. We loved it. We'd be somewhere long enough to get the local feel, but not long enough to get bored. Montana & Massachusetts were our favorites, so about 2 years ago, when the time came to settle down, John went job hunting again. Not many engineering jobs in Montana so Massachusetts won the prize...Us. We love it here, especially all the history. The only drawback is both our daughters live in Seattle (about 3500 miles away). Thank heavens for telephones & email. Airplanes keep us together, but it's a long flight. We figure someday we'll have to move out there, but hopefully not for quite a few years. I have always enjoyed cooking & used MicroCook for many years. I have thousands of recipes in that program. In fact when I got a new computer, the guru that assembled it for me had to figure a way to get it on to my new computer. I also have tons of cookbooks...just ask my husband. They take up 3 bookcases. I hope you enjoy any of my recipes that you try, but I know everyone's taste is different. I love reading the reviews & trying new stuff. Sometimes it goes over big & sometimes it becomes a one-shot meal. <img src="http://i605.photobucket.com/albums/tt137/cathrineq/ZWT-TM1.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/participantbannerzwt5.jpg"> <img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg">
