Doug mentioned something about a Scout Court of Honor tomorrow, and I have a bunch of tomatoes.
So tomato pie is a thing - I decided to try baking Mini Tomato Pies.
Ingredients:
- 1 of cup of tomatoes, seeded, then diced small (about 2 small-to-medium tomatoes)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dry basil
- 2 tablespoons diced onions
- 6 egg roll wrappers, cut into quarters (or 24 wonton wrappers)
(I cut off the corners of mine) - 2.5 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded (a packed 1/2 cup)
(some tomato pie recipes use 1/2 mozzarella and 1/2 cheddar) - 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Mix salt, pepper, garlic powder and basil. Sprinkle on tomatoes, stir to cover.
- Place tomatoes in a colander in the sink to drain for 15 minutes or so.
(Stir tomatoes a couple of times to encourage them to drain while doing the other steps.) - Spray the wells of a 24 count mini muffin pan with cooking spray, and press a wrapper into each one.
- Bake wrappers only for 5 minutes in the oven, then remove from oven.
- Saute onions in a little olive oil until golden (maybe 4 to 6 minutes)
- Mix onions into tomatoes.
- Mix cheese and mayonnaise.
- Place about a small cookie scoop of tomatoes in each well.
- Top tomatoes with about 1/2 teaspoon of cheese mix (share evenly)
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in oven until cheese is melted.
- Let cool a few minutes. Probably best served warm.
Carole's Notes:
We liked these! They are a tasty little tomato bite. If you prefer very savory, you could add a little bacon. I am not sure yet if they will go to the Scouts - they may be too appetizer-like.The recipe is lightly adapted from https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paula-deen/tomato-canapes-recipe-2117919
