This awesome Crumb Topped Four Cheese Tomato Pie is a celebration of vine ripened tomatoes. Juicy tomato slices are baked together with mozzarella, provolone, creamy and garlic-herb flavored cheese. The top is sprinkled with a Parmesan-panko crumb topping and it’s all baked until the crust is golden. It’s easy enough for a weeknight but perfect for a special occasion, too.

Easy Crumb Topped Four Cheese Tomato Pie Recipe

While I love making tomato pie in particular during the summer months, thanks to my local Costco I’ve been able to expand my love of this pie into off season months as well. This past week, vine ripened tomatoes were not only available but on sale too, so I had to bring some home with me. I’ve made many tomato pies and tarts over the years but haven’t always been happy with the results. My frustration lead to the need develop my own recipes and I think I’ve figured out the secret to success. By the way, insider tip, I’ve got an amazing variation in my cookbook.

How to Make the Best Crumb Topped Four Cheese Tomato Pie Recipe

Tomatoes that are worth eating are the juiciest. That can spell disaster for a pie like this one, but is easily fixed beforehand.

Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Crumb Topped Four Cheese Tomato Pie: One 9 inch deep dish pie shells, vine ripened tomatoes, kosher salt and black pepper, Alouette or Boursin garlic and herb cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese and shredded provolone cheese, melted butter, panko breadcrumbs and grated parmesan cheese.
Kitchen gadgets you’ll need: A sharp knife and cutting board, an offset spatula, measuring spoons, a small bowl to melt the butter and a cheese grater.
Place the tomato slices in a single layer on doubled paper towels. Sprinkle with kosher salt and gently press another paper towel on top. The juice releases from the tomato slices and the result is a pie that won’t break down and become watery.
The provolone cheese I use in this pie isn’t smoked. You can use smoked if that’s to your taste. You could also use Asiago cheese.
For this tomato pie you can swap out lighter dairy products to lighten it up a bit.
Store leftover Crumb Topped Four Cheese Tomato Pie chilled in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in single servings in the microwave.
