This was so good! Definatly try mozzeralla cheese instead of cheddar. That's the only change I made.

I used 1/2 light sour cream and 1/2 light mayo...was still too rich for my taste. Might try again adding some other veggies and using less mayo and sour cream.

I doubled this recipe and made two pies. I read all the reviews and made adjustments accordingly. I used 3/4 cup of sour cream and 3/4 of cup of mayo for my two pies. I was afraid of the overwhelming taste of mayo that some people experienced and I'm glad I replaced some of it with sour cream. Everyone that ate this really enjoyed it but I was not exceptionally thrilled with it. The mayo with the mozzarella cheese was odd to me. I really tasted the mayo even though I replaced some of it with sour cream. I used fresh basil leaves which I left whole. I added some minced fresh garlic. I didn't peel the tomatoes. I sliced them thin and layed them on a cooling rack and sprinkled both sides with salt so that they could drain. I then patted them with a lot of paper towels. I used probably half a roll of paper towels. I had no problems at all with the pie being runny. Before layering the tomatoes in the pie crust I brushed the bottoms of the pie crust with egg whites and cooked the pie crusts for about 10 minutes. I then sprinkled some mozzarella cheese at the bottom before I started layering the tomatoes, basil, garlic and so on. Topped with the mayo/sour cream/ mozzarella and baked for about 30 minutes in a 350 degree oven. Waited about 30 minutes before I sliced into it. This pie was not runny or soggy in the least. I will probably make again but might leave out the mayo completely. Thanks for sharing !

The pie cut clean! I drained the tomato all night (I used 2 canned diced tomatoes) and I brushed the pastry with an egg wash and baked it to golden brown before adding tomatoes. I already have a friend asking for the recipe!

Awesome and incredibly easy! I used canned, whole tomatoes (2 28oz. cans) and drained them very well. I topped the tomatoes with a layer of fresh spinach before I put on the cheese mixture. I can't wait to try it with fresh tomatoes. It would be very impressive at a brunch!

Very nice dish! If you use Roma tomatoes and take out the seeds, you should not have a soupy mixture like some reviewers had happen. I served this with the Salmon Pie I recipe from this site. Both were very good and a big hit with those partaking of the meal!

The crust was soggy but the filling was tasty. If I were to make it again, I wouldn't use so much mayonnaise.

Very nice. I really don't like mayo, so I subbed sour cream. I used about 4 tomatoes, not 5, and the pie wasn't soggy per se, but it was not easy to get out of the pie pan. A bit fragile, so I'm wondering if a stouter (heavier?) dough would be better--like a pizza dough or something. It could have just been the dough recipe I used. At any rate, I put cheese on top of the crust first, then layered the tomatoes. I added some tomatoes on top of the cheese mixture for garnish. I like all the flavors, but the pepper is quite strong, so maybe a bit less next time. I did layer the tomatoes as directed, but probably should have patted them dry after draining as another reviewer did. Thanks for the recipe!

I love this recipe. Am using the last of this year's tomato crop today. The only change I make is to add about 1/4 cup of the cheese to the bottom of the crust before I start layering the tomatoes...helps keep the bottom crust from getting soggy. Oh, and I also add a little oregano to the spice mixture.

My husband and I really loved this recipe. I modified it a bit--used only about 3/4 C of strong cheddar and used yogurt instead of mayonnaise--but it was still rich and very flavorful.

My family thoroughly enjoyed this recipe. I made it exactly by the recipe but mixed cheddar and mozzarella cheese. It was quick, easy and very economical especially now that fresh tomatoes are so abundant. Loved it!

This was great! I brushed egg whites on the pie's bottom before the 10 minute heating part, and I tried both cheddar and mozz cheese, we prefer the mozz. My hub took a whole pie to work and didnt even get to have a piece for himself, everyone else ate it first. I squeezed most of the juice from the tomatoes first, then added a dash of olive oil to them. I also recommend covering the edges of the pie crust with a little tin foil so it doesnt burn. Thanks! I'm adding this to a favorites file.

This recipe was DELICIOUS!!!! Left out garlic powder and basil (personal preference), added thinly sliced onions. Happened to have some crisp bacon and threw a little of that in. The taste is incredible! I have to confess it was "juicy", perhaps I didn't let the tomatoes drain enough, but they were fresh from the garden and you know how juicy those are. I just tilted to drain so tomorrow's leftover pie will be a little drier.

Fresh basil takes this to a whole different level. Slice the tomatoes thick so they stay somewhat firm. I always add a touch of thinly sliced Vidalia onion or scallion. Tomato Pie for brunch is always a great summer treat with the good homegrown tomatoes! It should not taste like pizza!

Good! I did make a few changes. First I used Roma tomatoes as stated in other reviews. After I sliced them, I drained them on a paper towel. I also browned sweet italian sausage, pre baked the crust for a few minutes, omitted the mayo, and used sliced onions and mozzerella cheese. I put cheese on the bottome of crust, then used the sausage. Then layered the onions, tomatoes, and cheese. Using the seasonings inbetween the layers. I am not a tomato lover, but this was really good and will make its way to the menu at least once or twice a month.

This dish is a HUGE hit whenever it is served!! I have begun using canned diced tomatoes and the result has been excellent! Whether you use fresh or canned tomatoes, be sure to eliminate as much juice as you can. This will ensure that your pie will slice nicely and not be too runny! This dish tastes so much like deep-dish pizza!! MMMMMMM!
