end of tomato girl summer

There’s no better way to savor the season than with a Southern classic. My Cheesy Tomato Pie recipe below! Ingredients: * 2 sheets refrigerated pie crust * 4–5 fresh tomatoes, thinly sliced * 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped * ½ cup mayonnaise * 1 cup freshly shredded cheddar cheese * ½ cup freshly shredded white cheddar cheese * ½ package bacon, cooked and crumbled * 2 green onions, chopped * 1 egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash) * Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste * Flaky sea salt, for finishing Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Arrange sliced tomatoes on paper towels or a cooling rack, sprinkle lightly with salt, and allow to sit for 20–30 minutes to remove excess moisture. Pat dry before assembling. Combine mayonnaise, cheddar cheese, white cheddar cheese, spinach, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Place one pie crust into a pie dish, prick the bottom with a fork, and par-bake for 10–12 minutes. Layer half of the cheese mixture, bacon, and tomatoes into the crust. Repeat layers, finishing with a light sprinkle of cheese. Cut the remaining pie crust into strips and weave into a checkerboard lattice. Brush with egg wash and bake for 35–45 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling. Allow to cool slightly before slicing. Garnish with green onions, freshly cracked pepper, and flaky sea salt. #tomatopie #endofsummer #Recipe #tomatogirlsummer #tomatolover
