Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

8 large green tomatoes
3 Tbsp lemon juice
1 Tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper (or to taste)
1/2 c butter
1 c dry bread crumbs
1 tube crackers, like ritz brand

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 325 degres. Slice tomatoes about 1/2 inch thick and layer the slices in a buttered glass baking dish. Sprinkle tomatoes with lemon juice, then brown sugar and salt and pepper. In a medium skillet melt butter. Mix the bread crumbs and cracker crumbs together in the pan with the butter. Stir constantly and to mix and lightly brown the crumbs. Sprinkle this over the top of the tomatoes. Bake at 325 degrees until tomatoes are tender but not mushy (about 25-35 min). These may take a little longer depending on your tomatoes.

Tips:

Choose firm, green tomatoes for this recipe. Avoid tomatoes that are soft, bruised, or have blemishes.
To easily remove the skin from the tomatoes, blanch them in boiling water for 30 seconds, then transfer them to an ice bath. The skins will slip right off!
If you don't have a pie crust, you can use a store-bought one. Just be sure to pre-bake it according to the package directions.
To prevent the pie from getting soggy, be sure to drain the tomatoes well before adding them to the filling.
For a creamier filling, use a combination of milk and cream. You can also add a beaten egg to the filling for extra richness.
Season the filling generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as basil, oregano, thyme, or rosemary.
Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. This usually takes about 45 minutes.
Let the pie cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will allow the filling to firm up.
