I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE tomato pie. After enjoying the tomato pie at Green River BBQ in Saluda, NC, I make it as they do – without a crust. It is delicious even without the crust and there’s no problem with a soggy crust. I cut back on the salt because more can be added when served if preferred.

I have been asking people for years if they have heard of tomato pie, everyone says no!! My great grandma used to make this for us and I could never get enough (she had a special way of making us eat our veggies). Thank you, thank you for this recipe!

(And thank you Grandma!!)

Christy,
I just wanted to let you know that I made your tomato pie for the 2nd time this weekend. My husband doesn’t usually express much opinion on my cooking beyond “It’s good, it needs salt,” etc. This weekend he said, “That tomato pie might be my favorite thing you’ve ever made. When are you going to make another one?” Girlfriend, that’s high praise in my house!

Hugs from just up the road in TN,
Becki

Made this for company last night. Everyone adored it. I didn’t have balsamic, but I did have balsamic glaze; worked just as well. Used tomatoes from my garden. Four people ate the whole thing, and the recipe was shared! Thanks!!

OK, for all y’all that had problems with it being too juicy, I’ve figured it out! I made this today and I drained my tomatoes about half hour because they were real juicy. I patted them dry so no dripping juice. Yet, my pie was REALLY juicy, a lot messy and soggy crust.

It tasted DELICIOUS though. So I thought on it a while and then it came to me! I bet this recipe was done with the pre-shredded cheese. Pre-shredded cheese is coated with corn starch to keep it from sticking to itself. That corn starch would surely take up some juice like if you put it in a fruit pie. I shredded my own cheese so it didn’t have a bit of corn starch in it.

I bet those that had their tomato pie turn out too juicy shredded their own cheese too! So next time I’d sprinkle a little corn starch with my cheese or buy pre-shredded cheese.

My hubby thought it was delicious too!
