Tomato Pie

Tomato Pie is a golden medley of sun-ripened tomatoes, creamy cheeses, and savory olives, all layered between flaky puff pastry. Each slice captures Mediterranean warmth, melding vibrant freshness with comforting richness in a perfect, elegant harmony.

Ingredients

2 sheets of puff pastry
10 pitted olives, finely chopped
150 g ricotta cheese, crumbled
150 g feta cheese, crumbled
4 tablespoons olive oil
300 g cherry tomatoes, halved
3 ripe tomatoes, finely chopped
1 onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
Oregano
Pepper
Salt

Instructions

Prepare the Filling:
Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic until softened.
Add the cherry tomatoes and the chopped tomatoes. Cook over medium heat until the liquid has evaporated.
Remove from the heat and stir in the salt, pepper, oregano, and chopped olives. Allow the mixture to cool.
Once cooled, add the ricotta and feta cheeses. Mix well to combine.
Prepare the Puff Pastry:
Roll out the puff pastry sheets slightly on a floured surface to make them thinner and larger.
Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil and place one sheet of puff pastry in the dish, ensuring it covers the sides.
Assemble the Pie:
Spread the prepared filling evenly over the puff pastry.
Place the second sheet of puff pastry on top, tucking in the edges.
Use a fork to poke small holes in the top layer of the pastry to allow steam to escape during baking.
Bake:
Preheat your oven to 170–180°C (340–355°F).
Bake the pie for about 45 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy.

A Garden-Fresh Elixir

In Tomato Pie, sautéed onions and garlic mingle with halved cherry tomatoes and tomato pieces, lightly cooked to release their sweet juices. The fragrant tomato mix is folded with ricotta, feta, olives, and herbs, then nestled between sheets of puff pastry.

Why It’s Irresistible

Tomato Pie balances vibrant tomato flavor with creamy cheeses and briny olive notes. The rich filling against the crisp, buttery pastry delivers both freshness and depth in each satisfying bite.

Serving Suggestions

Serve Tomato Pie warm or at room temperature, sliced into wedges. It pairs beautifully with a crisp green salad or a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil, making it perfect for casual gatherings or refined meals alike.
