Chaiwalla Tomato Pie Recipe

Chaiwalla Tomato Pie

From midgelet 15 years ago

From the Chaiwalla Tea House, in Connecticut, this pie is tasty and fancy looking, while relatively simple to make.

Combine ingredients for a crust:
Roll bottom crust on floured surface and line 9" pie plate.
Fill crust with thinly sliced tomatoes.
Sprinkle with chopped herbs.
Cover with 1 cup grated cheddar.
Mix mayonnaise with lemon juice and drizzle over cheese.
Cover with remaining 1/2 c cheddar.
Roll out remaining crust. Cover pie and pinch the edges to seal.
Cut steam vents.
Bake at 400 for about 25 minutes.
If not serving directly from the oven, re-heat before serving to melt the cheese.

I am back to let you know that I made this, quite a while ago, actually. It was definitely different, but sooo delicious! If you love tomatoes, this one is a sure hit! The filling did thicken up due to the cheese, I suppose. I added my pictures. Thanks again for sharing!

I know someone who had tasted this pie, filling was not overly firm but quite delcious. Does not resemble a quiche either.

Do you think the mayonnaise and lemon juice mixture acts as a binder. This sounds delicious THX for posting. :)

Love tomatoes! This sounds different and delicious! I wonder if I should remove the seeds from the fresh tomatoes, they contain a lot of juice.
