Savory Gluten-Free End-of-Summer Tomato Pie Recipe

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

3 large tomatoes, sliced

1 large yellow onion, sliced thinly

6 ounces shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1 large egg, whisked

1 box (4.25 ounces) of gluten-free almond smokehouse crackers (such as Blue Diamond)

(Optional) 8 ounces uncooked, thick-cut bacon

Black pepper to taste

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 375 F.

Spray your baking dish or pie dish.

Slice your tomatoes and onions thinly then cut each slice in half to form half circles.

Place the full box of gluten-free crackers into a freezer bag, closing it. Using your hands, crumble the crackers into small bits. Set aside.

In your dish, layer: crumbled crackers, small handful of shredded cheddar cheese, sliced tomatoes, sliced onions, then cheddar cheese again – covering the layer this time.

Sprinkle the top with black pepper to your liking.

Repeat the layer if room allows. Most dishes will allow for two of the layers.

In a bowl, whisk one egg. Then, pour the egg across the top of the pie, aiming to cover end-to-end with strips of the egg. It will sink down into the layers.

(Optional) Lay the strips of bacon across the top of the pie until covered.

Bake the pie for 45 minutes or up to an hour (until the bacon is thoroughly cooked and the cheese is golden).

Enjoy!
