How to Make A Tomato Pie

Made with lots of cheese and basil, Mr. Bucky thinks this pie is a winner. I actually liked it too.
Ingredients:
1 pie crust. (See this video for an easy pie crust recipe: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mn6uhqSkdtKCfKc)
4 large tomatoes, peeled, sliced 1/4 inch thick, and cored (see this video for an easy way to peel tomatoes: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5_IgaeAebaooNU)
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons flour
2 eggs
1-2 tablespoons dried basil
2 teaspoons of salt (for sweating the tomatoes)
Directions:
1. Pre-cook pie crust at 350F for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and, while still warm, add 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese to the bottom of the pie crust and spread evenly. Add the parmesan cheese to the top of this and spread evenly.
2. You'll want to "sweat" the tomatoes to remove as much water as you can (so your pie crust doesn't get soggy). Put the sliced tomatoes on a towel or several layers of paper towels and sprinkle with salt. Let rest for 15-20 minutes and then dab dry with a paper towel.
3. Line the pie crust with the sliced tomatoes and then sprinkle with the dried basil.
4. In a separate mixing bowl, mix the mayonnaise and flour together. Add the 2 eggs and stir until mixed evenly. Add the remaining cup of mozzarella and the cheddar cheeses and mix together. Pour this mixture over the tomatoes and spread evenly.
5. Cook at 350F for 35-40 minutes.
6. Let it cool 30 minutes before cutting and serving.

My goodness, I found this dear soul after she crossed over and I didn’t realize it until I saw a video her Son posted. She gave me and I know countless people comfort. I pray she knew how much she blessed people. May you and your Mr. Bucky journey well. Thank you Phyllis Stokes for blessing this stranger. Love and peace to all you left behind.

[@ccziv]

My grandmother used to fix tomato pie. It was so good. I sure do miss her. Thank you, Phyllis! Wish I’d discovered you when you were still with us. How lucky the world is to have your videos. Quite a legacy. ❤

[@kimallen5438]

Miss her so much. I am so proud of her son keeping her sweet memory alive.

Glad to see I’m not the only one that comes back to watch Phyllis when life gets the better of me and I need something comforting. Watching these videos is like sitting in my grandma’s kitchen watching her cook ❤️

I just found Phyllis and Mr. Bucky a few days ago and I must say my heart is broken that they are no longer with us. Such wonderful folks ❤️

[@heatherrussell7190]

I am making this for my in laws for their first dinner at our house. I hope she would be flattered. 💖 We sure do miss her in body, but we are so thankful she gifted us with her love for good food. Our bellies and our hearts are still being filled by Mrs. Phyllis. 💖

My third year watching just one more time. I make this pie every Summer and forget to write the recipe down. Maybe I just want to see video again. She is definitely missed.

[@lindaberg9960]

[@pegparrish3512]

I always wondered where they ate their meals (only saw their plates on the counter, not at a table) and now I know. Mr Buckey likes his recliner and they must have watched TV while they dined. Reminds me of my dad!💕

[@debbieann3594]

Hello Phyllis, I used this recipe to make a tomato pie after watching it and it turned out beautiful and delicious! I used Parmigiano Reggiano and Gruyere cheeses instead of the cheese in the recipe. Everyone loved this recipe. Thank you for sharing, this is for sure a tried and true recipe!

[@collenrose3957]

Thank you, Stephen for keeping her recipes online. I will be making this one this summer. 🌈🙏🌈

[@PhyllisStokes]

You are so welcome

[@shirashaynskosherkitchen7744]

Mr.Bucky finally got that tomato pie he's been asking for! You're so good together. It's a pleasure to watch two people who have such a heathy and happy relationship share time, love, respect, devotion and wonderful stories. I'm so happy y'all are telling more stories, I do adore them! Thank you both for all you share with all of us.

[@fernsmazal7116]

Wish God could bring that rose back! I also found her late. She was/is a 💎 gem! And such a awesome teacher for beginners at cooking! And even if you know how you can still learn something from her, we all miss you LADY!😪

I honestly don't know how many times I have viewed this video just to assist when I made. Here I am again. This is delicious and so far the best recipe I have found. Miss Phyllis, you are missed by so many of us.

[@jkbunnylove9197]

I make your tomato pie every year when my garden is done for the season. I make 4 or 6 and freeze them. So stinkin good! I sure miss you Miss Phyllis.

[@cheshkat6321]

"Once a week. Okay that ain't gonna happen." It makes me chuckle each time I watch this video. Yes. This is a favorite for me. I bought tomatoes. I just have to decide when to make this. I want some yesterday, with bacon.

[@kep817]

This recipe is a summer staple. Some of my home grown tomatoes MUST be used for this recipe every year.

[@Stronghnd]

Thank you for sharing your recipe for making pie crusts, tomato pie and kale salad. My wife Carolyn, North Carolina born and bred, and I grow our own Kale here in Winston-Salem and she's always looking for kale recipes. I really appreciate your showing how to make a great pie crust without unnecessary complications. As for myself, I was conceived in Augusta, Georgia, born in Brooklyn and raised on Long Island but was blessed when the Army brought me to Texas where I first discovered entered the United States. Too many years later, after being saved at a Billy Graham crusade and at the first opportunity, I moved back to the United States where I became a Southern Baptist, met my wife and have lived the good life for nearly 25 years. Thank God for good southern women.

[@linbat6148]

I've made tomato pie before and just loved it but the crust was soggy! Thanks for the fabulous tip of the cheese on the bottom. I used homegrown tomatoes from my little herb garden and fresh basil. It took almost all of my tomatoes and basil but was SOOOO worth it. The recipe I had before coming here called for the addition of bacon pieces too!!! Yum - who doesn't love that. But I'll be taking out the additional juice of the tomatoes as you do here and prebaking the crust and using the cheese as a liner to keep it crispy! Thanks for a great recipe. All my neighbors loved the last pie - they're all going to freak when the taste the next one with your great tips!!! Thanks so much - RIP

[@reneeziayadonovan1282]

Hello Mrs Phyllis! I came across this recipe for your Tomato pie I have almost the same recipe! In my recipe the tomatoes are cut into wedges and the basil leaves are chopped fine and mixed with 2 garlic cloves that are also minced fine and there is no flour with the mayo just the parmesan cheese. The addition of the garlic really adds a great flavor to the pie. This is one of my favorite recipes to make in the summer when the tomatoes come into season. Just thought I would share that with you!! Have a great day and looking forward to more of your great videos and advice!!!

[@beatrixjones2982]

I’m a huge garlic fan so it goes in pretty much everything! So I’ll add your little addition and tweak it just a tad. It’s heaven on a fork! Love watching this lady cook. Her recipes are very similar to my deceased Mother and I loved cooking with my mom! There’s no substitute for Cisco or Lard!
