Tomato Cheddar and Bacon Pie is a savory pie like no other. So good!

We love making this throughout the year, but in the summer, when tomatoes are at their peak is truly the best. The pie crust is easy to make and the flavors are incredible together.

HOW TO MAKE TOMATO CHEDDAR AND BACON PIE

First, make the pie dough.  It’s so easy and just can’t be beat.

Use a floured rolling pin to roll out the dough to about 12 to 13 inches in diameter.

EXPERT TIP: After placing the dough in the pie dish, you’ll want to par-bake in the oven at 350°F for 15 minutes. Before placing the pie in the oven, use a fork to poke holes along the bottom of the dough. You’ll also need to fill the pie with dried beans or pie weights to prevent the dough from bubbling up while baking.

ASSEMBLING THE PIE

This tomato, cheddar and bacon pie is a must when tomatoes are at their peak.  

Heirlooms are the ideal pick here. Even when they’re out of season, canned San Marzano tomatoes will do.

And be sure to select good quality bacon and shredded cheddar cheese for this Tomato Cheddar and Bacon Pie.

We just rave enough about this incredible savory pie. It is amazing when we serve this, it goes within in minutes.

It’s so good, we recommend making two of them! Talk about a crowd-pleaser!

    I would make this again in a heartbeat. This has such a wonderful medley of flavors. After watching the Southern Tomato Pie video I got nervous making this and I roasted the tomatoes. That certainly didn’t hurt anything and everyone enjoyed this as an appetizer. Excellent recipe!!!

    All the best!

    World peace may come from this pie!!! It is alllllllllllllllways well received, even when I am not. Today it was suggested that I figure out how to mass produce it for sale. The cheater frozen pie crusts would help in that effort as I am not a great baker. The oven must know that I do not need the extra sugar and calories :).
