Tomato Pie || Easy recipe for a southern tomato classic

Tomatoes are an essential part of the Southern summer. Whether you pick them at the farm store or straight from the plant in your backyard those juicy sun-ripened fruits are the star of so many simple summer meals.

Everyone has a favorite way to enjoy them whether it’s a fresh tomato sandwich a marinated tomato salad or a no-cook pasta sauce. But in my family summer doesn’t officially begin until we’ve transformed those ruby-red beauties into my grandma’s classic Tomato Pie.

Many summer nights at her house looked like this: kids splashing in the pool sausages sizzling on the grill and a tomato tart coming out of the oven. With juicy tomatoes fresh basil and a creamy cheese topping this dish was what she called “summer in a tart.” It’s both comforting and refreshing and best of all it couldn’t be easier to make.
