Tips for Tomato Pie

So tomato season is about to hit high gear and we're looking for all of the variations on the yummy tomato pie. Here are a few tips to consider when putting one together:

Always pre-bake the pie crust. Pillsbury's crusts are great.

Tomato pies can get seriously juicy (read damp and drippy). After slicing the 'maters, let them rest for a few minutes on a layer of paper towels. They won't dry out, but a bit of the juice will drain off. Not a bad thing in this case.

Before you put tomatoes into the pie crust, rub the bottom of the baked crust with a little olive oil or mayo to create a barrier between the moist tomatoes and the crust. Will help with the 'soggies.'
