I usually only use frozen pie when making this recipe. A deep pie shell works well here so you can layer all the tomato slices in there.

If you are using a frozen piecrust, you will need to let it thaw on the line for about 10 minutes, then prick the crust with a fork (so the crust does not puff up too much while baking.) Then bake according to the directions on the back of your package (usually 400F degrees for about 10- 12 minutes.) friend recipe

If you prefer a homemade crust, try my Wham Bam Pie Crust, you make it according to the directions, prick the crust with a fork (as pictured below) and then pre-bake at 400F degrees for about 10-12 minutes.

Do not skip drying the chopped tomatoes a bit. This will help keep the crust from getting soggy. Easy Tomato And Bacon Pie Recipe

THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO MAKE TOMATO BACON PIE

Easy Tomato And Bacon Pie Recipe

Plan coverage: Pour flour into the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with a hardcore; chop in cold margarine with a blender or fork until the mixture looks like peas. Chill for 10 minutes.

Add bacon to flour mixture; beat at low speed until it connects. Gradually add the heavy cream, ¼ cup at a time, until blended after each addition.

Mix with a spoon on a heavily floured surface; dust lightly with flour and layer three or more times, adding more flour as needed. Roll into a 13-inch round. Shortbread batter in a 9-inch fluted cake pan with 2-inch sides and a removable base. Press dough into the bowl; trim the excess mixture along the edges. Chill for 30 minutes.

Carrying out the plan: Cut 2 lbs. tomatoes into ¼-inch thick slices and remove seeds. Place tomatoes in a single layer on paper towels; sprinkle with 1 tsp. salt. Let stand for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 425°F. Mix the cheddar, the next 10 fixings, and the remaining 1 tsp. salt in a large bowl until firm.

Wipe the tomato clippings with a paper towel. Sprinkle the bottom of the carcass with cornmeal. Gently spread ½ cup of the cheddar mixture on the outside; layer with half of the tomato clippings in somewhat overlapping columns. Spread with ½-cup cheddar mixture. Crush the layers using the remaining tomatoes and the cheddar combination. Cut the remaining ¾ lb. tomatoes into ¼-inch-thick slices and arrange them on top of the pie.

Heat at 425°F for 40 to 45 minutes, protecting the edges with foil during the last 20 minutes to prevent unnecessary burning. Let it sit for 1 to 2 hours before serving.Easy Tomato And Bacon Pie Recipe
