Best 4 Ginas Summer Tomato Pie Recipes

GINA'S SUMMER TOMATO PIE

Steps:

• 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.

GINA'S MEMPHIS MUD PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Melt the chocolate and the butter in a double boiler. Stir continuously until combined and smooth.
• Using a stand mixer, beat the eggs, sugar, corn syrup and salt on medium-high speed until it lightens and doubles in volume, about 2 to 3 minutes. Mix in the melted chocolate mixture and fold in the pecans. Pour into the chocolate wafer crust and bake until the filling is just set, about 35 to 40 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and let cool. The pie will fall slightly. Once cool refrigerate until well chilled, roughly 1 1/2 hours.
• In a medium bowl add the heavy cream, sugar and vanilla extract and beat until soft peaks form. Top the chilled pie with the whipped cream, makng a nice mound on top of the pie. Garnish the top with shaved chocolate and finely chopped pecans. Serve immediately.
