Tomato Pie -Just had to make it

[GATOR240]

Ever since I saw the post by wboggs earlier in the week I knew that I needed to try this. I followed the recipe exactly. We could only fit three tomatoes in the shell as they were fairly large. It turned out very well. I gave it a very light smoke using pecan pellets since it was the first time that we ever had it. We have one more pie shell so I will make another one at some point and am thinking of adding crumbled bacon to it.

- Thanks for looking

That looks awesome! I'm not even a huge tomato fan, but I need to try this!
I've got to ask about the mailbox?

I'm a TPF (tomato pie fan).

I've baked quite a few over the years, but never in a smoker.

I'm going to give it a shot.

Bacon doesn't sound bad.

I've gradually turned mine 'pie' into a deep dish pizza.

Thanks Mattkm. That is where I put my amnps pellet tray. I had first started using the mailbox for cold smoking cheese and then gradually started using it for almost every smoke. I use the amnps in place of the chip tray and I use the mailbox mod for smoke management so that I don't need to open the door and let the heat escape out of the smoker. When I cold smoke, I stretch the flex vent out to about 6'-8' to scrub off additional heat before it reaches the smoker (i think it helps). I have also had good luck with the amnps inside the smoker but have come to just prefer the mailbox mod. You can do a search on "mailbox mods" on this site for a lot more information on this.

Thanks for the like Warren. That sounds like a plan for the gathering. If you send the recipe, I will try it! I have one more pie crust left.

Thank you Al, it's about time I tried one since I've heard of them for years - won't be my last! Thanks for the like!

Looking good, pizza pie for sure.

I plan to do this some time this week..looks good Gator! The bacon idea sounds lovely..and I got a package of crumbled bacon sitting around...might do one as is, one with bacon!

 

[GATOR240]

Thank you for the like Tom. I believe someone on this site mentioned the bacon and gave me the idea. I can see how easily this could be turned into a deep dish pizza as H Heyoleman said.......bacon, sausage, some of SmokinAl 's pepperoni.......:)

Looking good, pizza pie for sure.

Thank you Chili...Could I bring one to your next Mexican night? :D:D:D

I will search it up! I figured it would be a cool smoking trick I needed to learn!
And I'm going to try a tomato pie today too, I was trying to think of something else to add to the smoker, this will be perfect.

Don't want to high jack your thread but you asked for it so here it is.

1 pie crust
6 - 8 tomatoes if to watery drain We find pasta tomatoes work well not as watery
1 cup mozzarella cheese
1 cup mayo
1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
bunch chopped basil
1 - 2 tablespoons chopped garlic

Preheat oven 325 degrees
Put pie crust in pan sprinkle with one hand full of mozzarella cheese and bake at 325 for about 15 minutes or until crust is brown and crispy. Chop tomatoes - mix mayo and rest of mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, basil, and garlic in bowl, put tomatoes in pie pan (you can pile tomatoes as high as you like) spread cheese mixture over top of tomatoes. Bake about 35 minutes or until brown on top and bubbly serve at room temperature.

You can modify garlic to your taste and use shredded parmesan cheese grated or powdery is to salty.

Thanks for the like John. It was also the first one I ever saw too!! I will definitely make another one and possibly add some type of meat (or not).

Sounds like a plan Matt, you should be able to find lots of information. How did the pie turn out??
