Ingredients
US Customary - Metric
- 1 deep dish pie crust 9 inch, (whole grain prepared)
- 4 tomatoes medium, locally grown, varied colors, (heirloom when in season)
- 1 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
- 8 ounces feta cheese crumbles low-fat
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese part-skim, finely grated
- 1/2 cup clean mayonnaise
- 1 egg large, lightly whipped
- 1/4 cup sweet onion finely diced
- 1/4 cup basil freshly chopped (lemon if available)
- 2 teaspoons thyme leaves fresh
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Place pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and refrigerate while preparing the tomato pie.
Slice tomatoes about 1/4-inch thick. Lay tomatoes on a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Sprinkle slices with 1 teaspoon salt, in order to remove some of the liquid. Set aside while assembling the other ingredients.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine feta cheese, mozzarella, mayo, egg, onion, basil, thyme, and pepper. Layer in pie dish, 1/3 cheese mixture, 1/3 tomatoes, and repeat laying two additional times. Tomatoes should be on top. Sprinkle parmesan cheese over tomatoes.
Bake 25 minutes, then loosely cover with foil. Continue cooking 20 minutes, or until golden, and set.
Cool to room temperature before slicing.
Enjoy Deep Dish Tomato Pie the same day as baked.
