Easy and Delicious Fresh Tomato Pie

Fresh Tomato Pie

Ingredients

5 large tomatoes, peeled and sliced
4 slices turkey bacon, cooked and chopped
1 sweet onion, sliced or chopped
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons milk
½ cup mayonnaise
1½ cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
¼ cup Ritz crackers, crushed
2 teaspoons butter, melted
2 green onions (scallions), sliced

Instructions

PREHEAT OVEN: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
PREPARE TOMATOES: In a colander, layer the sliced tomatoes and sprinkle with salt. Let them sit for about 10-15 minutes to drain excess moisture.
COOK BACON: In a skillet, cook the turkey bacon until crispy. Remove from the skillet, chop, and set aside.
MIX FILLING: In a large bowl, combine the chopped bacon, sliced onions, pepper, milk, mayonnaise, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix well until combined.
ASSEMBLE PIE: Place the drained tomato slices in the bottom of the pie shell. Pour the cheese mixture over the tomatoes, spreading it evenly.
TOP CRACKERS: In a small bowl, mix the crushed Ritz crackers with melted butter. Sprinkle this mixture over the top of the pie.
BAKE PIE: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the top is golden brown.
GARNISH & SERVE: Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with sliced green onions before serving. Enjoy this delicious Southern classic warm or at room temperature!
