Tomato Pie, Just Do It

IMG_1912

I have a craving right now and its all Elle's fault.

Curse that gorgeous woman and her gorgeous family!

My craving is for Tomato Pie. I'm not going to post the recipe because reading her recipes are a joy. Oh and she makes her own crust... which looks easy... but I'm lazy... and I have pre-made crusts in my freezer.

I followed Elle's recipe almost exactly but I had roasted garlic in the fridge so I mashed it up into the mayo, cheese mixture. Thats right. I said mayo and cheese. I still consider this pie healthy as its called Tomato Pie and not something like Chocolate Silk Pie.

Tomatoes are a vegetable (actually a fruit but we'll ignore that in this case) and so this is considered a health food. Right? Right.

Why am I showing you so many of these very similar pictures?

Because I don't have a single picture of the pie once it was cut into! It disappeared too quickly.

I meant to get a picture of a perfect slice on a pretty plate. Then I ate the slice.

I tried to straighten out the edge of the cut pie. I straightened and straightened and straightened until there wasn't much left.

I ate the leftovers for breakfast.. cold... straight out of the refrigerator... while standing in the middle of my kitchen.

Go make that pie and report back

  1. I haven't made it yet but had the recipe already in "the queue" for next week. But only for me because HHBL would not care for a pie that has tomatoes prominently featured. More for me!

  5. Thank you for reminding me about this pie! It's one of the recipes I have saved for later.
    p.s. Mayo, cheese and garlic is the best thing ever!

  6. That looks fab. But I will *not* put mayo in my pizza pie, I will not do it. I'll double the roasted garlic instead.....

  11. I'm just slightly over tomatoes, but this is tempting me beyond what I can bear... I blame the mayo-cheese mixture...

    Also, I awarded you the Honest Scrap award today!

    But The Child hates tomatoes.

  14. Oh yum. I love tomato pie. Haven't had it in forever. But it's a good reminder to put the recipe up on the fridge. Thx.

  15. Hahaha! Lovin' you, you sweet girl!!

    Your pie looks so beautiful with the alternating red and green tomatoes. And garlic in the mayo-cheese? FANTASTIC THOUGHT!! That addition is genius.

    This line was great: "for breakfast.. cold... straight out of the refrigerator... while standing". Hahaha, righteous.

    Do I see a steak in the last photo? YUM!!

    I'm so glad you tried it and even more glad that you liked it. Thanks for mentioning me--you're so fabulous and so much fun!

  17. Oh my that looks good! I have a ice cream bucket full of tomatoes in my fridge and was wondering what to do with them... Now I do!

  18. not so much a tomato fan,but your shots make it good enough to eat-seriously. What sort of camera do you use? We are in the market for a new one and I am taking a poll. : )

    Shannon- I use a Canon rebel xSi and I love it soo much. I originally wanted a Nikon but i liked the way the canon felt in my little hands. make sure to go down to a store and hold the cameras and play with the settings

  21. Yum - tomato pie! That one looks good. Love the heirlooms you used.

  22. I made the mistake of looking at your blog hungry again...I have to make this pie, it looks amazing!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Totally sounds like something I would do. Or actually, something I already do! And since hubby doesn't like tomatoes I'd have this all to myself. Sounds yummy!!

    PS- pie crust is easy once you start making it all the time (even for lazy people! doesn't take too long).
