How To Make Tomato Pie | Chef Jean-Pierre

mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Part-skim mozzarella reduces fat while still melting well.

fresh tomatoes

🥗Healthier: canned tomatoes

💰Cheaper: canned tomatoes

Canned tomatoes are often more affordable and still flavorful.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil has a similar flavor profile, while vegetable oil is cost-effective.

Parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated Pecorino Romano

Nutritional yeast offers a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

Remove the core from the tomatoes and slice them evenly.

Heat a fry pan and add basil olive oil.

Layer the sliced tomatoes in the pan tightly.

Sprinkle fresh breadcrumbs over the tomatoes to absorb moisture.

Add slices of avari cheese on top of the breadcrumbs.

Top with caramelized onion.

Season with salt and black pepper.

Cover with pie dough and place in the oven.

Bake until the pie dough is golden brown, then flip the pie to serve.
