Recipe Box, Summer Cherry Tomato Pie
Our garden this year has not been the perfect success it started out to be
We did harvest some kale and made Krazy Kale and Pan Fried Kale Ribbons with Garlic before a giant snake got caught in the protective netting and thrashed about for 3 days bashing everything with it’s tail…
And even though we didn’t plant zucchini this year I have a huge zucchini plant choking out my begonias with the prettiest squash blossoms you ever saw…
We did manage a modest crop of jalapenos, which immediately got turned into Prosciutto and Sausage Pineapple Poppers
but the cherry tomatoes…the cherry tomatoes have been the star 🌟
They got bathed in olive oil and seasoned with salt and pepper, roasted,
and made into a lovely pie with ricotta, basil and cheese
I felt like I found a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow
with this golden roasted cherry tomato pie!

Oh I can’t wait for my cherry tomatoes to produce and make this!
Your summer cherry tomato pie looks delicious Jenna and we love manchego cheese! We sampled some heirloom tomatoes from the farmers market a couple of weeks ago that looked great on the outside but were disappointing. Roasting cherry tomatoes is great way to infuse the flavor of summer in a pie 🙂
This recipe sound really tasty, I pinned it right away and I would have printed it out for my collection but I am out of paper (that always happens when I really want something. I am so hungry to try this out now! I think I will!
Wow, this sounds amazing! I am definitely making this.
By the way, I would love to have you post on my new blog hop—the Weekend Blog Hop at My Flagstaff Home (www.myflagstaffhome.com). It begins on Thursday evenings and lasts through the weekend, if you’re interested.

Your pie sounds great! As for my garden, not so great. I have been enjoying string beans, but that’s it. Happy 4th of July Weekend:@)
Oh Jenna, I love tomato pie and have a great recipe, but I’ve never made it with roasted cherry tomatoes. Your recipe sounds so heavenly and a must try this summer, but not from my cherry tomato plant, which has only produced ONE tomato! Thanks for this summery delight!
Happy 4th to you and your family!!
Thanks Kitty! We really enjoyed this version of tomato pie~ Happy 4th to you and yours too! >
