Meatless Monday Tomato Pie
Tomato Pie-
This is a delish and yummy tomato pie. Perfect for meatless Monday . Easy and best with fresh tomatoes.
What You need
1 Lb. Large ripe tomatoes (thinly sliced)
15 oz. ricotta cheese (you can use cottage but it is not as rich)
4 Large eggs
1/4 Cup Parmigiano-reggiano cheese
1/2 tsp Salt
1 / 4 tsp black pepper
1/4 Cup low fat milk
1 Tbsp cornstarch
1/2 Cup fresh basil leaves (chopped and reserve some whole ones too)
1/2 Cup fresh mint leaves (chopped)See my tid bit below
Large Bowl
Small bowl
Whisk
Oven safe skillet ( 10 inch works well)
Before You Start : Preheat oven to 375 °
Lets Make It! In large bowl, whisk ricotta cheese, eggs, parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper until blended. In a small bowl stir milk and cornstarch until smooth; whisk into cheese mixture. Stir in basil and mint. Pour the mixture into skillet and arrange tomatoes on top ( it is okay to overlap if you need to) Bake for about 35 to 40 minutes or until lightly browned ( edges are firm and the center is puffed) scattered some whole basil leaves on top and let stand 5 minutes before serving.
Katies Tid Bits** Try leaving out the mint and add a little chopped green onion instead

Questions:
1. What is your favorite yogurt flavor? Used to be cherry, now no dairy for me, it doesn’t stop me from making dairy filled food for my family and friends though.
2. Ankle or knee socks? and on the same theme, white socks or coloured?? I love fancy colorful fun socks in the winter usually ankle
3. How is the weather right now? Crazy, rain,wind storms, more rain, heat!…
4. Are you a fast typer? I used to type 108 wpm now only 60 wpm
5. Red or White Wine? White ( I also liked it over ice) I have a little sip once in a while now. But I am sugar free, caffeine free, dairy free and alcohol free now. Read this post from 2008
I’d love to try this recipe. Pinned.

Holy yumminess! This pizza looks SO GOOD! I definitely need to try this recipe. 🙂
I have a lot of admiration for you going dairy-free (along with sugar-free, caffeine-free, etc.). I thrive on that crap. LOL! Oh, I bet I could lose a lot of weight if I followed in your footsteps though…sigh.
Giggle, you’re so cute.I miss my dairy! I’ve been sugar free and caffeine free since 1985

Easy Peasy . Enjoy!
Oh that looks REALLY good..I also love the Green Onion in exchange for the mint.. : ) Wish I lived next door to you…I would happily volunteer myself to be a taste tester.. : )
My wife would like that.
please share!
That sounds divine! 🙂 Not much in this world better than cheese, eggs, and tomatoes!
it is a heavenly combo 🙂
Thank you for the recipe. This looks sooo good. I’ll get all the ingredients together and start cooking!
1. blueberry yogurt 2. ankle socks 3. very hot weather here in the 90’s and 100’s somedays, need rain 4. about 60 wpm, much faster typer when I was a school girl 5. a sweeter white wine
Camille, thank you for answering the meet me Monday question love it!
Oh & thanks for the recipe, I have printed it off and shared it with the gals here at the office.

Now that is “too” many things to be free of girl. I love cheese most of all and the sweeter white wines that have the amazing grape aroma.
1. Blueberry 2. Ankle 3. Warm but not too bad, had a thunder storm last night with a lot of rain 4. yes 5. white or blush
Hope you are not feeling bad today Katie, starting to worry about you my friend. Take care of yourself.
