COUNTRY TOMATO AND BACON PIE

The flavors going on in this pie are crazy good. Fresh tomatoes, with crisp bacon and the flavor of the fresh basil just takes it to another level. Then you add all that melty cheese on top – holy moly!

TIPS FOR MAKING TOMATO PIE:

I usually just go with a frozen pie crust when making this recipe. A deep dish pie shell works well here so you can layer all those tomato slices in there.

If using a frozen pie crust, you’ll need to let it defrost on the counter for about 10 minutes, then prick the crust with a fork (this keeps the crust from getting too puffy while baking.) Then bake it using the instructions on the back of your package (usually 400F degrees for about 10-12 minutes.)

If you prefer a homemade crust, try my WHAM BAM PIE CRUST, you’ll prepare as directed, prick the crust with a fork (like pictured below) and then pre-bake at 400F degrees for about 10-12 minutes.

Don’t skip drying off your sliced tomatoes a little bit. This will help the crust from becoming soggy.

INGREDIENTS NEEDED:

fresh tomatoes

green onions

basil

bacon

freshly ground black pepper

mayonnaise

shredded mozzarella cheese

HOW TO MAKE TOMATO PIE (STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS):

If using a frozen pie crust, you’ll need to let it defrost on the counter for about 10 minutes, then prick the crust with a fork (this keeps the crust from getting too puffy while baking.) Then bake it using the instructions on the back of your package (usually 400F degrees for about 10-12 minutes.)

Allow your crust to cool slightly. Turn oven down to 350F degrees. Place sliced tomatoes between two layers of paper towels to lightly dry them off. Then start layering tomato slices on the bottom of the pie.

Season with some freshly ground black pepper. Then top with green onions, basil and crumbled bacon.

In a bowl, combine mayonnaise with shredded cheese.

Spread the cheese mixture on top of your pie.

Bake at 350F degrees for about 30-35 minutes (until golden brown). If the the edges of your pie crust are becoming too brown while baking, you may want to put some aluminum foil around the edges of the pie, just covering the crust for the duration of baking.

This pie is tasty served warm but is still yummy as it comes to room temperature as well. Just be sure to refrigerate any leftovers.

Enjoy!
