How did you keep the edges from burning?

Southern tomato pie is a new one on me! I'm not familiar with even the northern variety. It looks beautiful! The photography made it mouthwateringly appealing! I would say that this pie is mostly savory with a bit of sweetness. Thanks for sharing a marvelous new dish!

[@mytreasuredcreations]

I had heard of this pie from a friend. I bought a big box of red tomatoes and decided to make a vegan version of it. it was a success! !! there was nothing left. I used corn tortillas for the pie crust. sliced and piled the tomatoes like you did. smothered them with basil like you did. Then I made a tofu cream with nutritional yeast and garlic and poured over it all. Baked for 50 minutes on 350. It was amazing! !!! :)

[@RainbowGardens]

What a great idea! Thanks for sharing. :)

[@goldsilverandiamonds]

I added crispy bacon and Canadian bacon to mine version was delicious!!

[@thebluevelvetriver]

I'm going to try a vegan version but with biscuits for crust and veganese and nut yeast for the cream

[@KrittikaKitty]

I have never heard of this before ! Thank your sharing :-) . You need to enter Master chef competition!! Looks Great!

[@kathyyoung99]

Native southerner, but somehow I have never had tomato pie. Yours is by far the best looking version I've found. Since I grow tomatoes and basil every Summer, this will definitely be a must try dish next year. Thanks for sharing!

[@kathleenelliot5305]

That looks so good, a meal by it self for me. Thank you.

[@skyhigh33716]

I substituted mayo for cream cheese and put besides bail.....dill and rosemary....I loved it

[@RainbowGardens]

chris venegas WOnderful! :)

[@FoodluvbitesBlogspot]

This looks great, never would have thought about a tomato pie. Thanks for this

[@superslyfoxx1]

I'm Southern born and its a sin I have never had this pie. Where did I go wrong! LOL! Looks great Donna.

[@ohhowhappygardener]

[@daintyflygirl4va]

Yummy.The music is so soothing

[@ariannapac6535]

Basil! This looks like heaven 😍

[@MultiStu66]

OMG! This is summer comfort.... You nailed it - Red, yellow or whatever type of tomato - Delish. So many are unfamiliar with this - I am only in my third year of this (using fresh garden tomatoes,) but this is wonderful and surprising. Thank you so much.

[@RainbowGardens]

Thank you so much! i am making one this week! :)

[@sunkkist]

This was so amazing Rainbow Gardens thank you very much for this recipe! I accidentally came across it as I was looking to use our glorious garden summer ripened tomatoes with basil and all the rest. A sensational dish that I only learnt about today and the whole family loved it. I'm so glad I tried something new yet classic from the Deep South tradition, I've also made other southern dishes like Chocolate Chess Pie, Shrimp and Grits, Peach Cobbler, Biscuits and Gravy. I love it all.

[@RainbowGardens]

Thank you so much for letting me know. I hope you checked out my other recipes for Southern Favorites on my channel. Comfort food at it's best. :)

[@SusanRogersMakingItWork4Me]

That looks really good, never heard of it before, might just have to give it a try, Thanks!

[@alicesmith7913]

[@moniquemacaulay8270]

would make a nice side dish

[@GardeningWithPuppies]

That is my kind of meal. I have to make this and very soon.

I had heard of tomato pie in southern novels but didn't know what it was until I was on vacation with my daughters on Edisto Island in South Carolina. A well-known local farm that supplied many of the desserts to local restaurants had, among their sweet offerings at their roadside stand, Tomato Pie. We had one for lunch that afternoon and couldn't get back to that stand fast enough for another!! Then I had to match their list of ingredients against the several recipes on line to come up with one that tasted like the very first one we'd had and loved so much. Your's is almost exactly the same except for the aoli which sounds delicious. My husband likes a few sprinkles of hot sauce added to the cheese mixture. Now that our tomatoes are coming in, we will make one every week. It is a super easy way to make those wonderful home grown tomatoes and basil into dinner and a couple of lunches.

[@RainbowGardens]

Thank you for sharing your story! We have vacationed on Edisto many times. :) This year, I will add some hot sauce! Sounds so good!

[@KathyInKY01]

I know just the place! We used to have a timeshare on Edisto and I had my first tomato pie from that very place. That's where I feel in love with them! I made this recipe last night and it was absolutely delish! I only wish there was a more sure-fire way of nixing the tomato juices that result which seem to be inherent with all tom pies. Maybe I should just learn to embrace the juice, lol.

[@AussieAngeS]

Yum that looks really fantastic!

[@RainbowGardens]

Thanks so much. Your comments are always appreciated. :) Happy Cooking!

[@OneYardRevolution]

That looks really good!

[@TessCooks4u]

Just found your channel. Great recipe. Thanks. :)

[@TheWanda047]

Never Hurd of it. But looks delicious! Gonna make when tomatoes come in..thank you.

[@valentinebonnaire9877]

That looks FAB!!!!!!!

[@LindaPenney]

Awesome update thank you for sharing could you freeze it so you could bring it out in the fall to remind you of summer have a blessed week

[@RainbowGardens]

Hi, I have never frozen it, but if you do, let me know how it turns out. :)

[@LindaPenney]

Will do blessings to u Donna

[@calmones333]

I just had my first ever Tomato Pie...BUT it was the Italian roots Phildelphie, NJ area popular variety. Its much different than the Southern Tomato Pie. It was absolutely yummy! I want more. But for some reason i think the Southern Tomato Pie could taste even better. Any one had both and can compare? Theyre really totally different pies, just share a name. Not really comparable i guess. But still i think the Southern Tomato Pie has potential to be even tastier, from pictures and recipeis ive seen.

[@SolarizeYourLife]

Never heard of such a pie, I really need to move south....

[@RainbowGardens]

Oh yes, it's a good one too! I hope you can give it a try.

[@Opheliainwater]

I love the way you say 'basil' lol

[@elysejoseph]

Oh, this looks sinful!!! I'll definitely try this in a near future :)

[@RainbowGardens]

It is indeed. I make only one time a year, and thanks to you and other viewers, I got to make it twice! lol

[@elysejoseph]

LOL Sorry about that :)))

[@calmones333]

It looks super super sinful lol.

[@fredjahnke1589]

Won a neighborhood tomato pie contest last night!!! Great tasting and easy enough for this guy! One comment, the onion rings must be VERY small, or they should be cut in small pieces. My vadalia onion rings were too large, causing the pie to be difficult to cut and eat.

[@RainbowGardens]

Great job!

[@mumbaibalconygardenerhobbies]

That looked too good to eat!

[@RainbowGardens]

It is yummy and such a treat when fresh tomatoes are coming in from the garden. :)

[@smb123211]

Once a year? We have this 3 times a week with the addion of super thin potatoes and bacon on top. I use Velveeta just like my mom did - LOL I mix homemade pesto with the mayo with a few basil leaves.

[@RainbowGardens]

Oh my, sounds so good!!

[@smb123211]

@@RainbowGardens LOL Going to have some for breakfast topped with an egg!

Hi. Can green tomatoes be used? Thank you 😊

[@corinasaebels9076]

Did you make your own pie crust, it looks perfect! :-) Can I have your recipe , please if ir is your own...Thank you. :-)

[@ivorykeys1566]

Didn't find the link to the Aioli recipe(?)

[@RainbowGardens]

Thanks for letting me know. I will add it now... :)

[@ivorykeys1566]

Thank you so kindly. I copied it. 😊

[@eanleeparkin7004]

Did you bake the pie crust before putting the rest of the ingredients.

[@RainbowGardens]

Yes

[@calmones333]

I cant and dont cook bake or anything. Is there any place that sells these fresh in upstate NY? I doubt it....

[@ivanb2517ib]

Didn’t even know there were that many different basils

[@TheKdizzle1971]

Its pronounced 'damator pie' in the south

[@TheKdizzle1971]

I used to crop dabaccor and eat damator pie in my youth
