Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 4 medium Tomatoes Juicy and fresh, drain on paper towels to keep the crust flaky.
  • 2 cups Cheese (e.g., mozzarella or cheddar) Adds a rich creaminess that balances the acidity of the tomatoes.
  • 1 tablespoon Herbs (e.g., basil or thyme) Bring aroma and flavor complexity; opt for fresh for the best taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Spices (e.g., salt, pepper) Elevate the overall flavor profile; don’t skip these essentials.
For the Crust
  • 1 package Pie Crust A flaky base that supports the filling; store-bought works perfectly for convenience.
Optional Add-ins
  • 1 cup Cooked Ground Meat A hearty option to enhance the dish’s flavor and make it more filling.
  • 1 cup Additional Vegetables (e.g., bell peppers or zucchini) Customizable ingredients to add variety and nutrition to your Slab Tomato Pie.

Equipment

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Gather your ingredients and equipment.
  2. Slice the tomatoes into thick rounds and sprinkle with salt on paper towels to drain moisture.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the drained tomato slices with shredded cheese, herbs, and spices. Stir gently.
  4. Roll out your pie crust and transfer it to a baking dish, pressing gently against the sides.
  5. Pour the tomato mixture over the pie crust, spreading it out gently.
  6. Bake for about 40-45 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  7. Let the pie cool for about 10-15 minutes before slicing.
