Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pre-made pie crust
- 2 cups ripe tomatoes, sliced
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and place the pie crust into a pie dish, pressing it firmly against the bottom and sides. Poke a few holes in the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling.
- Step 2: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until well combined. Season with salt and black pepper.
- Step 3: Layer the sliced tomatoes evenly over the bottom of the pie crust, followed by the crumbled feta cheese and chopped basil leaves.
- Step 4: Pour the egg and cream mixture over the layered ingredients in the pie crust, ensuring that it is evenly distributed.
- Step 5: Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and set. Allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy your savory tomato, feta, and basil pie!
Notes
- For optimal freshness, store any leftover savory tomato, feta, and basil pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
- When reheating, warm individual slices in the microwave for about 30 seconds or pop them in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 10-15 minutes to regain that delicious crispiness of the crust.
- This pie pairs wonderfully with a simple green salad or a side of roasted vegetables for a delightful meal that balances flavors and textures.
- To enhance the flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of dried oregano or thyme to the egg mixture before pouring it over the layered ingredients for an extra aromatic touch.
