Crustless Tomato Pie
It is a
perfect dish during the summer when all the ingredients are grown fresh in your
garden or you can pick them up at your local farmers market.
Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon butter
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 6-7 leaves basil chopped
- 1-2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 eggs beaten
- 1/2 cup onion chopped
- 4 tomatoes sliced
- 2 Tablespoons fresh oregano chopped
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded, plus extra for sprinkling over top
Instructions
First, cut
the tomatoes into slices and place them on plates. Sprinkle lightly with salt
and let stand at least 20 minutes.
Then, melt
the butter in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic
and sauté until the onions are tender (about 8 minutes).
Transfer to a medium
bowl.
Add cheese,
eggs, herbs and pepper to a bowl. Stir to combine.
Drain the
water from the plates with tomatoes, with a paper towel, gently blot the
tomatoes to absorb the excess moisture.
Arrange the
tomatoes in a single layer on a greased pie pan. Top with about 1/4 cup of the
cheese mixture. Repeat until all the ingredients have been used, finishing with
a layer of tomatoes. Top this layer with a pinch of mozzarella cheese.
Bake at 375
degrees for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Let stand
5-7 minutes before serving. Happy Cooking Time.
