Recipe Box, Ryan’s Garden Tomato Pie

.

July in the South means a Tomato Pie!

Fresh tomatoes, preferably straight from your garden…

.

.

Traditional tomato pie is usually made with mayonnaise

HHjr doesn’t like mayonnaise

{or so he thinks, it’s actually in a lot of his favorites}

So he made up this recipe, using sour cream and cheese for the creamy factor

.

.

It also features yellow squash, red onion and fresh spinach,

the vegetables are sauteed in a skillet and then mixed with sour cream

.

.

And crispy pancetta for an extra wow flavor

.

.

Put the pancetta in a medium hot skillet

to render the fat and to crisp up,

then drain it on paper towels

.

.

Line a pie dish with a raw pie dough crust and add the pancetta

and top with the vegetable sour cream mixture

.

.

Top the vegetable layer with cheese

.

.

Top with the cherry tomatoes

.

.

Bake at 400 degrees for about 30 minutes

.

.

Let sit for 5-10 minutes before cutting

.

  1. A perfect summer dish!

  2. Nancy says:

    All those look delicious! Our tomatoes are not quite ready but when they are I’ll be sure to make a tomato pie!
    Happy Sunday to you dear Jenna!

  3. Jenna, summer in the South does call for tomato pie. HHjr’s pie looks fabulous…if only I had a slice. Stay cool at the beach, the heat and humidity are torturous here in NE AL!

  4. Rita C. says:

    I have actually never eaten tomato pie, but that looks good. I’ve had fried green tomatoes, and I love tomatoes, in general. I love your recipes, and always in season. With your seasons’ region being a little ahead of ours, it’s like having a preview of possibilities!

    • Oh Rita, you must try tomato pie! Some of the other tomato pie recipes have just a few ingredients , do you think Mr. P would eat it? Of course ripe summer juicy tomatoes are a must! 🍅

  5. This looks like something I would find delicious with all those tomatoes, pancetta, everything. Thanks for this one.

    Oh yum, Ryan’s tomato pie looks like summertime to me! Big fan of tomatoes here, a few plants in the garden but not enough to supply my need for all my tomato recipes. So, early morning visits to the farmer’s marker where it’s open air pavilion and safe with masks. I will have to try this, I’ve only had the simple pies with sliced tomatoes. Thank Ryan for this delicious recipe…………

  7. Karen says:

    Tomato pie is a taste of summer on a plate and Ryan’s version sounds terrific.
