Tomato Pie

Tomato Pie (+ lower sodium option)


For Lower Sodium: Sub the shredded cheddar for shredded Swiss cheese. Instead of salting the tomatoes and draining in  colander, layer them between paper towels for ten minutes. Don’t add any additional salt to the dish. 
Ingredients (I double it and make 2)
  • 3 medium sized fresh tomatoes
  • 6 large fresh basil leaves (if you don't have fresh, use 2 teaspoons dried)
  • 3 TBS Prepared Basil Pesto
  • 1 +1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (I used half mild & half sharp)
  • ½ to ¾ cup mayo
  • 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar (I used white balsamic)
  • 1 teaspoons kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 pie crust, baked but not browned
Instructions 
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  2. Bake pie crusts for 10 minutes while continuing to prep. Remove after 10 minutes. If the edges got brown, cover with aluminum foil before baking them the second time.
  3. Cut tomatoes into  medium thickness slices.
  4. Salt each side and place in collendar. Allow to drain for ten minutes (can skip this step if you like).
  5. Arrange ½ of tomato slices in baked pie crust. Sprinkle with salt & pepper ½ of basil, ½ of vinegar, and ½ of cheese.
  6. Repeat but drizzle pesto over tomatoes before adding the final layer of cheese 
  7. Spread mayo over top of pie. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until lightly browned. If not wanting to brown, run the broiler for a minute or so but keep an eye on it.

Creamy Chicken Pot Pie (No peas or Carrots 😳)

Creamy Chicken Pot Pie *Makes 1-3 Pies* I love a good chicken pot pie. Traditionally they aren’t particularly creamy and they usually involve a bag of frozen peas & carrot mix. However, Julie doesn’t eat either so I subbed the two veggies she does eat - green beans and corn. You can use fresh or frozen veggies. I used the the steamer bags that came with garlic butter in the bag and I used fresh local corn cobs, boiled with kernels cut. They are crisp and sweet! I added cream and cream cheese to the filling to make it extra savory for my picky eaters! I usually make & bake 1 pie, and freeze the rest of the filling for another day in a freezer bag Ingredients: (1) Rotisserie chicken picked and chopped. Place in large bowl. (1) bag green bean steamer bag w seasoning - cooked and chopped (1) bag little potatoes steamer bag w seasoning cooked and chopped (1) Vidalia onion chopped (1) yellow bell pepper chopped (2) stalks celery chopped (2) cloves garlic chopped (1) Handful fresh pou...
