EASY TOMATO PIE

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 piece Perfect Pie Crust, recipe follows, or 1 refrigerated pie crust (from a 14-ounce box)
All-purpose flour, for dusting
2 3/4 pounds medium tomatoes
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 large egg plus 1 yolk
2 teaspoons hot sauce, optional
8 ounces shredded sharp Cheddar
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 scallions, chopped
4 1/2 teaspoons plain yellow cornmeal
Fresh herbs, such as dill, parsley or chives, for topping, optional
3 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup vegetable shortening, cut into small pieces
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) salted butter, cut into small pieces
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 large egg
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar

Steps:

  • Roll the pie crust into a 13-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Transfer the crust to a 9-inch deep-dish pie pan. Trim the edges so the crust hangs over the pie pan by 1/2 inch. Tuck the edges of the crust under to be even with edge of the pie pan and press all around with the tines of a fork. Place the crust in the refrigerator for 1 hour or in the freezer for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, slice the tomatoes crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Using your fingers, push out as many of the watery tomato seeds as you can. Lay the slices flat on a paper towel-lined sheet tray and sprinkle all over with the salt. Let drain for 30 minutes, then pat very dry.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • While the tomatoes are draining, in a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, whole egg, egg yolk and hot sauce, if using. Stir in the Cheddar, blue cheese, parsley, dill, black pepper and scallions.
  • Sprinkle the cornmeal over the bottom of the crust. Pat the tomato slices dry once again, then place a third of the tomatoes in the bottom of the pie crust, overlapping them slightly to fit. Top with half of the mayonnaise mixture. Repeat with another layer of tomatoes and another layer of mayonnaise mixture. Place the remaining tomatoes on top, pressing the last layer gently into the mayonnaise mixture. Bake for 20 minutes.
  • Remove the pie from the oven and wrap just the edges of the crust with foil to avoid burning. Reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Bake until the mayonnaise mixture is puffed and golden brown and the center is no longer wobbly, about 30 minutes more. Let cool for 1 1/2 hours.
  • Top with additional herbs, if desired, then slice and serve.
  • Combine the flour, shortening, butter and salt in a large bowl. Using a pastry cutter, gradually work it all together until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Beat the egg with a fork and add it to the mixture along with the vinegar. Add 5 tablespoons cold water. Stir until it comes together, adding another tablespoon or two of water if it needs the moisture.
  • Form the mixture into 2 balls and wrap them in individual plastic bags. If using immediately, chill for 20 minutes in the refrigerator before rolling out. If freezing, remove from the freezer 30 minutes before you are ready to use them.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 4h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 to 4 ripe tomatoes (about 3 pounds), thinly sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
1/2 small sweet onion, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1 rolled 9-inch pie crust, store-bought or homemade
1 cup freshly grated sharp Cheddar
1 cup freshly grated mozzarella
1 cup mayonnaise

Steps:

Cool completely.
  • Mix together the Cheddar, mozzarella and mayonnaise in a medium bowl. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few cracks of black pepper.
  • Transfer the tomatoes and onions to a dry paper towel and pat dry. Liberally season the tomatoes with cracked black pepper. Arrange a third of the tomatoes in a single layer in the pie crust, overlapping slightly. Sprinkle a third of the basil over the tomatoes and top with a third of the onions. Repeat twice with the remaining tomatoes, basil and onions. Spread the mayonnaise mixture over the top of the onions.
  • Bake until the topping is golden brown and bubbling, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool completely. Garnish with basil leaves. Serve at room temperature.

Time 2h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

½ (14.1 ounce) package refrigerated pie crusts, at room temperature

Repeat procedure with remaining Cheddar mixture and another third of tomato slices. Top with remaining tomato slices in slightly overlapping circles. Sprinkle with Parmesan and remaining 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese.
  • Bake pie in the preheated oven until filling is set and lightly browned on top, 30 to 35 minutes, tenting crust with aluminum foil to prevent excess browning, if needed. Let stand for at least 30 minutes before serving. Garnish with thinly sliced basil before serving.
