I love the simplicity of this pie. The ingredients used are all pantry ingredients combined perfectly. One of my favourite low-carb side dish. This beautiful and delicious Crustless Tomato Pie is excellent for either brunch, lunch, or dinner. And the fresh herbs and mozzarella cheese add a pop of Italian flair to this already amazing pie.
INGREDIENTS
4 tomatoes sliced
1-2 tsp salt
1 tbsp butter
1/2 c. onion chopped
1 clove garlic minced
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp fresh oregano chopped
6-7 leaves basil chopped
2 c. mozzarella cheese shredded, plus extra for sprinkling over top
2 Eggs beaten
How to make Crustless Tomato Pie
Step 1: Lay the sliced tomatoes on plates and lightly sprinkle them with salt. Let the tomatoes sit for at least 10 to 20 minutes and up to 30 minutes.
Step 2: In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Once melted, add the onion and garlic. Saute for about 8 minutes until the onions are soft. Place the onion and garlic in a medium-sized bowl.
Step 3: To the bowl, add the cheese, eggs, herbs, and pepper and stir to combine.
Step 4: Off of the plates, drain the water from the tomatoes. And soak up the excess moisture by gently blotting the tomatoes with a paper towel.
Step 5: In a single layer, arrange the tomato slices on a greased pie pan. Sprinkle with about 1/4 cup of the cheese mixture on top. Do this for all the remaining ingredients. Sprinkle the last layer of the tomato slices with mozzarella cheese.
Step 6: Place inside the preheated oven and bake for about 30 to 40 minutes or until the edges are a bit brown.
Step 7: Before serving, let the tomato pie sit for at least 5 to 7 minutes.
