TOMATO TART



Tomato Tart image

A tomato tart, layered with roasted garlic and fontina cheese, is a perfect way to use the garden's bounty.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 head garlic
3 tablespoons olive oil
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1/2 recipe Pate Brisee for Tomato Tart
2 ounces Italian fontina cheese, grated (about 1/2 cup)
1 1/2 pounds firm but ripe tomatoes (4 medium), cored and sliced 1/4 inch thick
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place garlic on a piece of aluminum foil. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil. Wrap to enclose garlic in foil, and place on a small baking sheet. Bake until soft and golden brown and the tip of a knife easily pierces the flesh, about 45 minutes. Remove from oven; set aside. Raise oven temperature to 450 degrees. When garlic is cool enough to handle, using either your hands or the dull end of a large knife, squeeze the cloves out of their skins and into a small bowl; mash with a fork, and set aside. Discard the papery skins.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to a 1/8-inch-thick circle, about 12 inches in diameter. With a dry pastry brush, brush off the excess flour; roll the dough around the rolling pin, and lift it over a 10-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Line the pan with the dough, pressing it into the corners. Trim the dough so that it is flush with the edges; transfer to the refrigerator to chill, about 30 minutes.
  • Spread roasted garlic evenly on the chilled crust. Sprinkle with half of the cheese. Arrange the tomatoes on top of the cheese, in an overlapping circular pattern. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with remaining cheese, and drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Transfer to oven. Reduce temperature to 400 degrees. and bake until crust is golden and tomatoes are soft but still retain their shape, 45 to 55 minutes. Transfer to wire rack to cool for 20 minutes, and serve warm.

EASY TOMATO PIE



Easy Tomato Pie image

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.

EGGPLANT AND TOMATO PIE



Eggplant and Tomato Pie image

Tomatoes have another week or so to go in most farmers' markets. This robust summer pie, topped with a layer of tomato slices flecked with thyme, is a nice party piece. It also packs well once cooled, so take leftovers to work for lunch.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, lunch, main course

Time 2h

Yield 1 pie, serving 6 generously

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 Whole Wheat Yeasted Olive Oil Crust (1/2 recipe)
1 1/2 pounds eggplant (2 medium)
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 eggs
1/3 cup milk
1 1/2 cups marinara sauce
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
2 ounces Gruyère, grated (1/2 cup)
1 ounce Parmesan, grated (1/4 cup)
2 medium-size fresh tomatoes, in season, sliced
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Line a lightly oiled 9- or 10-inch tart pan with the dough. Using a fork, pierce at regular intervals to allow for even baking. Refrigerate or freeze until ready to prebake and fill.
  • Heat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Slice the eggplant about 1/3 inch thick and toss with salt to taste and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Line 1 to 2 baking sheets (as needed) with foil and brush the foil with olive oil. Lay the eggplant slices on the foil in 1 layer. Roast in the hot oven for 15 to 20 minutes, until the slices are soft when pierced with a knife and browned in spots. Remove from the oven and carefully fold the foil up over the eggplant slices (be careful not to burn yourself!). Crimp the edges of the foil and allow the eggplant to steam for another 15 to 20 minutes. It should now be completely cooked. Turn the oven down to 350 degrees.
  • Beat together the eggs in a medium bowl. Set the tart pan on a baking sheet to allow for easy handling. Using a pastry brush lightly brush the bottom of the crust with the beaten egg and place in the oven for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
  • Whisk the milk into the eggs. Add salt (I usually use about 1/2 teaspoon) and pepper. Spread 1/4 cup tomato sauce over the bottom of the crust. Top with a layer of eggplant slices. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon one third of the remaining sauce over the eggplant and sprinkle with thyme, Parmesan, and half of the Gruyère. Repeat the layers one or two more times, depending on the size of your eggplant slices, ending with the Gruyère. Pour on the egg and milk mixture. It should seep down into the layers; if it looks like it's not moving and going to overflow the crust, use a fork to create some holes so it does seep down. Arrange the sliced tomatoes on top and sprinkle any remaining thyme over the tomatoes. Drizzle on 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Place in the oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until set and bubbling and browned on the top and edges. Remove from the heat and allow to sit for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve hot, warm, or room temperature.

TOMATO-CHEDDAR PIE



Tomato-Cheddar Pie image

Ripe heirloom tomatoes and sharp cheddar cheese are a match made in heaven in this savory pie.

Provided by Sam Worley

Categories     Herb     Onion     Tomato     Kid-Friendly     Dinner     Lunch     Cheddar     Summer     Sugar Conscious     Kidney Friendly     Cheese Week     Pie     Cheese     Small Plates

Yield Makes 1 (9-inch) pie

Number Of Ingredients 18

For the crust:
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for surface
1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
For the filling:
3 large heirloom tomatoes (about 2 pounds), sliced 1/4" thick
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
All-purpose flour (for surface)
1 cup finely chopped Vidalia onion (about 1/2 medium onion)
1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups grated sharp cheddar (about 4 ounces)
1/2 cup mayonnaise (preferably Duke's)
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, parsley, and/or thyme
1 teaspoon mild hot sauce
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Special equipment:
A 9" pie pan

Steps:

  • Make the crust:
  • Pulse salt, sugar, and 1 1/4 cups flour in a food processor until well combined. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal with a few pea-size pieces of butter remaining, about 10 seconds. With the motor running, add 1/4 cup ice water and process until dough just holds together, about 30 seconds. Squeeze a small amount of dough between your fingers; if it's very crumbly, add more ice water, 1 Tbsp. at a time (2 Tbsp. maximum). Do not over-process.
  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and push together to form a rough ball. Knead a few times to combine, then roll into a ball. Flatten ball into a disc with smooth edges (no cracks), cover with plastic wrap, and chill at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
  • Make the filling and bake the pie:
  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with several layers of paper towels. Arrange tomato slices on prepared sheet, sprinkle with 1/4 tsp. salt, and cover with more paper towels. Let drain at least 30 minutes.
  • Position rack in bottom rung of oven and preheat to 350°F. After dough has chilled, lightly flour work surface and roll out dough to a 13" round. Roll dough loosely around rolling pin, then release into pie pan. Trim edges to leave a 1" overhang and crimp as desired. Freeze dough at least 15 minutes.
  • Line crust with parchment paper or foil and fill bottom with baking beans or weights. Bake crust, rotating halfway through, 20 minutes. Remove weights, pierce bottom of crust all over with a fork, and bake again until very light brown and dry, about 10 minutes more.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium. Add onion, butter, and 1/4 tsp. salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened and just starting to brown, 5-8 minutes. Let cool.
  • Combine cheese, mayonnaise, herbs, hot sauce, pepper, onion mixture, and remaining 1/4 tsp. salt in a medium bowl. Blot tomatoes with fresh paper towels to remove as much remaining moisture as possible. Arrange tomato slices in pie shell and top with filling; smooth.
  • Bake pie, rotating halfway through, until golden brown, 40-45 minutes. Let cool to room temperature before slicing.
  • Do Ahead
  • Dough can be frozen for up to 3 months; thaw before using. Tomato pie can be chilled for up to 2 days.

Tips:

  • For a crispy phyllo crust, make sure to brush each layer with melted butter before baking.
  • To prevent the phyllo dough from becoming soggy, pre-bake the crust for a few minutes before adding the filling.
  • Use a variety of cheeses in the filling for a more complex flavor.
  • If you don't have fresh tomatoes, you can use canned diced tomatoes, but be sure to drain them well.
  • Add a sprinkle of dried oregano or basil to the filling for extra flavor.
  • Serve the pie warm or at room temperature.

Conclusion:

Tomato phyllo pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its flaky crust, flavorful filling, and cheesy topping, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give tomato phyllo pie a try.
