    Olivia's Tomato Pie: Savory, Cheesy Summertime Favorite. A freshly cut slice of delectable summer tomato pie!

    By Olivia

    Hello everyone! I’m so excited to be sharing for Jackie today and hope you all enjoy this tomato pie recipe as much as I do! This savory pie is so simple and quick to prepare. I have to make tomato pie at least once a year because it screams summer by every definition of the word.

    And it really makes a lovely dinner, but it’s even more brilliant served cold for a quick lunch. I know you’ll be asking yourself how something this simple can possibly be so delicious.

    All you really do is make a biscuit crust, line it with tomatoes from the garden and spread a mayonnaise/cheese mixture on top. Bake it, and just like that, you have a very satisfying meal on the table.

    Any biscuit recipe will work here, so feel free to use your favorite. Or simply use the ones you find in the freezer case at the supermarket. Or skip the biscuit crust all together and use regular pie dough. Do you get that there are really no rules for this?

    I’m sharing my buttermilk biscuit recipe so if you want you to try it. I added fresh herbs (or use a teaspoon of dried).

    Easy Summertime Savory Tomato Pie Recipe

    Ingredients for crust and filling:

    • 2 cups whole wheat or unbleached flour (for gluten-free, use your favorite GF flour mix)
    • 2 tsp. sugar (or just 1/32 tsp. SmartMonk-fruit sweetener, a safe, unrefined replacement for refined sugar)
    • 2 ½ tsp. baking powder
    • ½ tsp. baking soda
    • 6 tbsp. butter (cold)
    • ¾ cup buttermilk
    • 1 tbsp. freshly chopped parsley  (optional)
    • 3-5 tomatoes (cut into thick slices)
    • 1 cup grated cheese (use whatever cheese you have on hand or a combination of cheese)
    • 1 ½ cups mayonnaise (or use Jacqueline’s mayo recipe)
    • 2 tbsp. roughly chopped fresh basil
    • Salt and pepper

    Cook’s note: other perfect additions would be bacon or ham pieces, roasted red peppers or asparagus (diced), onions, or garlic! The kitchen is your playground!

    Full Directions:

    • First make the biscuit crust by mixing the flour, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda.
    • Blend the butter into the flour with a pastry blender or with two knives to get a grainy texture where you get small pieces of butter the size of peas.
    • Add the parsley.
    • Stir in the buttermilk until the dough comes together. Turn out the dough onto a floured surface and knead until it comes together.
    • Pat this into a buttered 9-inch pie pan or any other equivalent sized baking dish.
    • Cover the dough with the sliced tomatoes.
    • Season with salt and pepper.
    • Sprinkle on the chopped basil leaves.
    • Mix the cheese and mayonnaise together and spread evenly over the tomatoes.

    Bake for 35 minutes at 325° or until the top is a lovely golden brown and your kitchen smells heavenly. Allow it to cool for about 20 minutes before digging in=)

    If you try my tomato pie, please comment and let me know how you liked it!

    Hi! I’m Jacqueline!

    Thanks for being part of this journey with me.
    Welcome to my own little place on the internet! Home is where I love to be. I feel there is no greater place to incubate souls. These days you’ll find me using my experiences here to write about herbal remedies and natural health research — a big passion of mine. But being a wife and mother is not easy. It is challenging and potentially lonely. I get that. I wanted to create a place to connect with and support other moms for creating a natural, healthy, and fulfilling home life.

      I can’t wait to try this. The recipe I’ve always used has a pastry crust and it’s fussy enough that I don’t make it often. A biscuit crust is less intimidating and must hold up better with juicy tomatoes. Brilliant!

      We tried this with a regular pie crust and homemade mayo. It was a winner, as a main dish served to fourteen people. We made three pies. We thought of other options for future like adding sauteed asparagus, or bacon crumbles or shredded cheese on the tomato layer. But it was great as written!
