This fresh tomato pie is layered with cheddar and mozzarella cheese, garlic and basil! Serve this delicious vegetarian meal as a main dish or side with grilled chicken.
There was a time I absolutely detested tomatoes. Every one I ate tasted bland and flavorless (blah!) so they didn’t make it to my plate often.
What a shame!
It wasn’t until I tasted a juicy fresh off the vine tomato that convinced me that tomatoes need to be the star of the menu more often.
Sunday Supper
The Sunday Supper Tastemakers are sharing a collection of fresh tomato recipes that will convince you that tomato angels (believe!) do exist, and you can make a variety of tasty recipes with fresh juicy sweet tomatoes!
Tomato Pie Recipe
If you are lucky enough to grow your own tomatoes then you are probably harvesting loads of those juicy babies now!
I picked up these roma tomatoes from my farmer’s market for next to nothing!
My purchase lightened the load (barely) from one of my favorite organic produce stands and my goal was to make tomato sauce, but those plans got derailed as the days ticked away.
Does that happen to you too? Big plans for a fun project that only gets to the planning stage? Humph!
Well, I can’t say I was too disappointed because I made this scrumptious tomato pie instead!
What a tasty spring and summer meal!
This pie resembles a margarita pizza, except the tomatoes are tripled from what you might be used to!
Add this pie to your brunch menu or enjoy a slice for a light lunch. This is easy to make and you can save even more time if you use a purchased pie crust like I did.
If you prefer a homemade crust, then be sure to check out the recipe I used to make these meat and potato hand pies.

Sandra Shaffer
Thanks for letting me know you tried this tomato pie recipe! Isn’t it tasty?!
Jersey Girl Cooks
I made a tomato pie too….love them! This looks perfect. I can’t wait to use ripe NJ tomatoes this summer.
Sarah Reid, CNP (@jo_jo_ba)
Yummy! And your crust looks amazing too – which one did you buy? Ours all look horrible here
The Ninja Baker
Love the cheery colors in your pie. So glad you changed your mind about tomatoes. P.s Pinning!
Liz
Wow, what a gorgeous tomato pie! I cannot wait for local summer tomatoes so I can make this winner!!!
Kim
This looks delicious! I can’t wait to try it with our tomatoes. I also love the pie dish. Where could I get one?
Sandra Shaffer
This is best with homegrown tomatoes! I always look for unique dish ware at discount stores like Marshall’s or Home Goods, but any pie plate will do!
Karen (Back Road Journal)
Since I knew we were moving, I only planted two small cherry tomato plants in my garden this year. Your delicious looking tomato pie makes me wish I had homegrown tomatoes sitting on my counter right now.
Sandra Shaffer
Oh, I bet those cherry tomatoes are delicious though! Next year you’ll have your full grown tomatoes!
Christie
I am drooling over this recipe. Our tomatoes are not doing well this year, such a bummer. They would be fantastic in this recipe.
Sandra Shaffer
Dang! I know that some years are just not producers.
Carrie @Frugal Foodie Mama
I have been seeing recipes popping up everywhere for tomato pie! And can you believe I haven’t made one yet?? This one looks amazing! 🙂
Sandra Shaffer
So fresh and delicious! Get on it soon, Carrie!
Sheena @ Hot Eats and Cool Reads
I’ve always wanted to try a tomato pie and yours looks wonderful! Such a great way to use garden tomatoes!
Sandra Shaffer
Thank you, Sheena! This is an easy recipe and I really wanted to showcase the tomatoes. They’re bursting with flavor!
Sarah @ the magical slow cooker
I wish we lived closer! I really love this recipe, perfect for summer!
Sandra Shaffer
Aww, me too Sarah! Can you imagine all the cooking trouble we would get into? Haha 🙂
Bam's Kitchen
Great looking pie Sandra! I would love this all on its own as a lovely light dinner or as a brunch. Perfect for those tomatoes fresh off the vine…
Sandra Shaffer
Sweet tomatoes sure are delicious, especially homegrown!
