How to make easy Southern Tomato Pie with Bacon, Basil and Jack Cheese

April 21, 2020 Easy Meals, Entertainment, Food + Recipes, Uncategorized

*Update June 17, 2020* This recipe is the dish that I will be bringing to the 2020 Juneteenth Cookout! To celebrate Juneteenth with my fellow Black Food Bloggers we’ve decided to have a Virtual Cookout and share what dish we will be bringing.

What is Juneteenth? The word “Juneteenth” comes from combining the date June 19th, referring to June 19, 1865 which is when emancipation was given to slaves in Texas. This day is observed to celebrate freedom.

I chose this Southern Tomato Pie because I wanted to bring a dish that represent something that I feel black people have in common. That is the instinct to use what we have available and figure out a way to make it the best way that it can be! That is what I feel the epitome of this recipe is. Taking a few ingredients, and creating magic.

To see what some of the others are bringing, please check out the list at the end of this post!

I’m just going to be upfront and honest with you. If you’re looking for a light tomato pie for your gathering, then you’re in the wrong place. But if you want a guilty pleasure fulfilled in one bite of a pie that just so happens to contain hearty sliced tomatoes. Then you are exactly where you need to be. Today, I’m going to show you how I make my easy southern tomato pie with bacon, basil, and jack cheese.

How do you make sure your pie is not to watery or juicy?

  • Dehydrate your tomato slices by placing on a paper towel and pat dry.
  • Add salt to the tomato slices to help suck up some of the moisture.
  • Let the tomato slices sit for about 20-30 minutes to ensure the least amount of moisture possible.

Can you make a healthier version of this Tomato Pie?

Yes, you can absolutely make a slightly healthier version of this pie. Just omit the bacon and replace the mayo with your favorite vegan mayonnaise. You are more than welcome to use vegan cheese as well, however, I don’t feel like the taste is similar enough to replace.

I also enjoy the open-face version of this pie. To achieve this, do not add the top layer of pie crust dough to the pie. Top with tomatoes on that are still on the vine and bake for 20 minutes, or until there is a nice golden crust on top.

Ingredients

3–4 Large Tomatoes

2tsp Kosher Salt

2c Mayonnaise

1/2c Chopped Bacon

1/2c Chopped Fresh Basil

1c Shredded Cheddar Cheese

1c Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese

1tsp Black Pepper

1c Chopped Green Onion

Pie Crust Dough (Homemade or Store-bought)


Instructions

Pre-heat oven at 400 degrees

Slice all of your tomatoes in 1/2 inch slices. Lay flat on a paper towel and pat dry. Sprinkle kosher salt on top. Let them sit for about 20-30 minutes to drain out as much water from the tomatoes as possible.

While you’re waiting on your tomatoes, place your bottom pie crust dough in a pie dish and bake for 10-12 minutes. Be careful not to burn.

While your crust is baking add mayonnaise, bacon, basil, green onions, cheese, and black pepper to a large bowl and mix well.

Once your crust is baked, let it cool. 

Add a solid layer of your filling to the crust.

Add a layer of tomatoes.

Cover the tomatoes with another layer of filling.

Add another layer of tomatoes.

Cover the tomatoes with final layer of filling.

Cover the top with your top pie crust dough (raw).

Bake for 15-18 minutes. Just until the crust is nice and golden.

Let the pie sit for about 15 minutes.

Serve with a salad and a nice glass of lemonade or ice tea.

It’s savory and tangy, with a filling that is delish with or without the tomatoes😋 Find this easy recipe at the link in my bio.

Midweek check-in: how’s everyone doing? I think Midweek check-in: how’s everyone doing? I think one thing that’s consistent for almost everyone, is that most of us are experiencing some pretty cold weather here in the US. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone who has lost their gas and electricity recently. Please stay bundled up with lots of layers, if possible. We’ll be doing the same over here, and if I can gather up the energy, I’ll be getting cozy with a hot cup of cocoa or tea.

Happy Valentines Day from The Daniels Crew💖💙 Happy Valentines Day from The Daniels Crew💖💙❤️ We started celebrating early with funny and intense stories over Valentines cake for the kids, that I showed in my stories yesterday. A lot of you asked who made the cake, and it was from the talented @justnotthecakes. (FYI, you’re viewing the very first Daniels Party of 5 photo. You guys didn’t warn me that it’s nearly impossible to get all 3 kids in the photo at once. Let alone have them all looking into the camera. Finally, we got one good shot together🥰 but the rest had to be apart🤷🏾‍♀️ I’m hoping it gets better with age?😩)
Confession: I think I enjoy celebrating Valentines Confession: I think I enjoy celebrating Valentines this year more than I did Christmas. I don’t know, maybe it’s because the kids have really been into Valentines this year. Or, it could be the fact that I felt the need to make it super special  since it’s yet another holiday during a pandemic🤷🏾‍♀️ Either way, it was nice to decorate this year and have daily goodies for the kids and the hubs😉 Swipe through to see how I easily got our Valentines decor together. 

Do you guys enjoy seeing entertaining decor content from me? If so, I’ll start to make it more detailed so that you can do it at home too💖
Is it Friday yet? I need it to come 👏🏾on 👏🏾now👏🏾I didn’t feel like making anything fancy tonight, so I threw together my One Pot Margherita Pasta. I just appreciate that everyone in the house actually eats this dish. Find the recipe at the link in my bio and save for later. (Excuse Ivey’s Grrrr🦖 at the end of the last clip🤦🏾‍♀️🤣)
I know your feed has been bombarded with Valentine I know your feed has been bombarded with Valentines this and Valentines that. So, I gotta know. What are you planning on doing for Valentines or Galentines Day, if anything? Has all the inspiration encouraged or discouraged you to do anything? Since the last year hasn’t allowed us to venture like we’re used to, we are definitely doing something special for the kiddos and then having a little getaway celebration of our own. Let’s hear what you got!
