Take-out Tuesday, Summer Cherry Tomato Pie
It’s time to celebrate Summer tomatoes!
Let’s make a pie!
Tomato Pies are a Summer staple in the South
and we always plant cherry tomatoes in the garden
My grandson, Big E adores them and will eat them like candy
The first step for this pie is roasting them on a lined sheet pan
Roll them around in olive oil and season with salt and pepper
Roast them at 400 degrees for 20-30 minutes until they pop
While the tomatoes are roasting,
mix ricotta with Italian seasoning,
chopped basil and Parmesan cheese
Place pie dough into a pie pan
and spread with 1/2 of the ricotta mixture
Top with 1/2 of the Manchego cheese
Put the roasted cherry tomatoes on top of the cheese in an even layer,
then top with remaining ricotta and Manchego
Bake at 350 degrees for 45-60 minutes
Let pie sit a few minutes to set up before slicing
Garnish with fresh basil

Jenna, I love tomato pie and I must try your recipe that looks delicious. Big E is so very handsome! Stay cool this week as we hover at 100…Happy Tuesday!
Thank you Pam, and yes, try to stay cool, Summer has arrived!
Jenna, you are making me hungry this morning. How I would love to have a slice of that tomato pie! It looks scrumptious! I love tomato pie and can’t wait to try your recipe. Your grandson is adorable! Happy Tuesday!
Thanks so much Shannon, I hope you enjoy it!
Very fresh and yummy!
Thanks Angie!
Now why haven’t I thought to use the little cherry tomatoes in tomato pie? I’ve always just grabbed (and picked) the big ‘uns. The cherry size really are sweeter. That E’s face is pretty sweet too. — Tomato pie tonight with a side of summer shrimp. thanks!
Cherry tomatoes do make a tasty pie! Tomato pie with summer shrimp sounds like a wonderful dinner!
This looks delicious! My friend makes Tomato Pie and shares it at a gathering of friends. Now that I have a recipe (yours) I can make it too!
Big E is quite the handsome young man!
Happy 4th of July weekend to you!
Thanks so much Nancy, it’s a breeze to make too!
Looks yummy Jenna! I’m ready for some garden fresh tomatoes. We had some heirlooms that were almost ripe on the vine, but raccoon or some other critter made off with them. I guess we’ll be buying them at the Farmer’s Market in a couple of weeks. Happy Tuesday ♥
Thanks Mary and so sorry about your tomato thief!
That looks really good!
Thanks Jeanie 🍅
It looks like a fresh pizza and I bet it tastes delicious!
Thank you, it’s a wonderful summer dish~
My mother would have loved a tomato pie, she made tomato sandwiches throughout the summer months! Tasty!
I’m not a fan of tomato sandwiches {unless they have bacon and lettuce} but I love tomato pie!
Jenna, this tomato pie looks so good and a perfect meal for the summer. I will have to give this a try.
I hope you are enjoying the summer.
Thanks Julie, it’s a wonderful summer dish!
Oh yum! Pinned, and I love how easy it looks.
Thanks Rita, it’s a great summer dish!
I agree Jenna…looks so yummy. thanks again for a delish recipe.
You are so welcome Kari! I hope you have a wonderful 4th of July 🇺🇸
When I first looked at the post I thought I was looking at cherry pie, then I realized it was a cherry tomato pie! What a fabulous idea. I’ve never heard of anything like this before but I can tell I would love it. I used to grow cherry tomatoes and we would get prolific crops of them and really enjoy them daily. Don’t know why I stopped growing them. I’ll have to think about it for next season. Thanks
Thank you Judee, this is a great summer dish!
So easy and yummy. I have never made tomato pie or tart. I was watching Martha Bakes the other night when ai could not sleep. She made a wonderful tomato tart. Yours made me realize I need to make one.
I hope you make one Linda, they are so good!
I have a really good tomato pie recipe that I got from Southern Living years ago, but I’m anxious to try this version with cherry tomatoes and ricotta! Thanks, Jenna! Big E is so cute!
Thanks Kitty! I hope you enjoy it!
I am having the family over for a visit tomorrow, I think I will make this. Thanks for the idea Jenna.
Thank you Bernadette, I hope you all love it!
I’ve never had tomato pie before and this looks delicious! I agree that it looks just like a pizza and that can only be good. Looks easy to make too! Pinned. I hope you are having a wonderful summer there!
