Tomato Pie Recipe
- Pie dough for single crust pie
- 3 cups cored, seeded, and chopped fresh tomatoes (about 6 tomatoes)
- Kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1/2 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- On a lightly floured work surface, roll the dough out into a round about 12 inches in diameter and 1/4 inch thick.
- Line a 9-inch pie plate with the dough and crimp the edges decoratively.
- Freeze for 20 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line the dough with a piece of parchment paper or aluminum foil, and fill it with pie weights or dried beans.
- Bake until the crust starts to set, about 15 minutes.
- Remove the pie weights and parchment paper and continue to bake until the crust is dry and very lightly brown, about 10 minutes more.
- Remove to a wire rack and set aside.
- Put the tomatoes in a colander and sprinkle them with a little salt.
- Let stand for 30 minutes then press out as much liquid as possible using the back of a large spoon or a rubber spatula.
- In a frying pan, melt the butter.
- Add the onion and cook until golden, about 8 minutes.
- Scrape into the pie shell and spread into an even layer.
- Add the tomatoes, spreading into an even layer, then sprinkle with the herbs.
- In a bowl, stir together the cheese and mayonnaise.
- Dollop it over the top of the tomatoes, then spread it into an even layer with your hands or a spoon.
- Bake until golden brown, about 45 minutes.
- Let stand for at least 20 minutes before serving.
