This reminded us of a BLT. It does sound strange, but we loved the way all the textures and flavors were perfect together. It's sweet, smoky, and savory. This is a great way to use up the abundance of tomatoes this time of year.

TOMATO AND ONION PIE



Tomato and Onion Pie image

This is really old fashioned food. The only change I have made over the years is to cook the onion-in the original recipes for this it goes in raw (and often stays that way). I went looking for something similar to make, and as I couldn't find anything decided to post it. We are having this as a side with roast pork tonight, but it's good with any roast meat.

DIJON-TOMATO & SWEET ONION PIE



Dijon-Tomato & Sweet Onion Pie image

From the Associated Press. I used a combination of orange sharp cheese, white sharp and a small amount (about 1/4 cup) of smoked Gruyere. I also make my own pie crust (flour, salt, water, oil or butter) and not a Bisquick™ pie crust. It's time to say goodbye to heirloom tomatoes. See you next summer!

Provided by C G

Categories     Savory Pies

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 9" pie shell (bottom shell only)
1 medium vidalia onion (or any similar sweet onion such as walla walla, for ex.)
3-4 heirloom tomatoes
1 c cheddar cheese, grated
1 c gruyere cheese, grated
1/2-2/3 c mayonnaise (2/3 cup in original recipe)
1 Tbsp dijon mustard
1 tsp stoneground mustard
cracked black pepper, to taste
10 fresh basil leaves (fresh only!)
pinch sweet paprika

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Note: I use a cast iron skillet to prepare the pie. Bake the pie shell until lightly golden, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool. Leave the oven on.
  • 2. While the pie crust is cooling, prepare the filling by thinly slicing the onion and tomatoes (or if you prefer you can dice the onions and tomatoes). Arrange the tomato slices on paper towels to absorb excess moisture. My heirloom tomatoes were bursting and almost too ripe for this dish. The end result was my pie was a little watery but a good stint overnight in the refrigerator helped to firm up the pie considerably. Also, before I forget I think the next time I will lightly sautè the onions first before adding them to the pie.
  • 3. In a prep bowl, mix together both cheeses, the mayonnaise, both mustards and a generous pinch of pepper. The mixture should be thick, but spread easily.
  • 4. Spread a thin layer of the cheese mixture over the bottom of the pie shell. Top the mixture with half of the onion slices, then half of the tomato slices, followed by the remaining onions, then the remaining tomatoes.
  • 5. Spread the rest of the cheese mixture over the tomatoes and garnish with a sprinkle of paprika. Bake until browned and bubbly, 40 to 45 minutes. Remove the pie from the oven and let rest for 10-15 minutes. Cut into slices, then top each serving with some of the fresh basil. We served the pie with a simple side of steamed vegetables: green beans, carrots and romanesco.

Tips:

  • Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes. This will ensure that your pie has the best possible flavor.
  • Don't skimp on the onions. They add sweetness and depth of flavor to the pie.
  • Use a sharp cheddar cheese. This will give the pie a nice, sharp flavor.
  • Don't overcook the pie. The crust should be golden brown and the filling should be set, but not dry.
  • Let the pie cool slightly before serving. This will help the filling to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Tomato onion pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its simple ingredients and delicious flavor, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give tomato onion pie a try.
