Hello Ms. Deen, I just made your "Tomato pie" it is wonderful. But I have question How do you stop the juice from the tomato and making true crust soggy?

My daughter gave me this recipe last summer and it is the same except she added 1 tbsp hot sauce to the mayonnaise mixture. The pie crust should be pre-baked before filling to avoid a mushy, gummy crust. Sprinkle the tomato slices with salt to accelerate and maximize drainage. I placed the slices on a hand towel and pressed the excess juice out after draining on a broiling rack. The pie still had a good bit of juice in it, but the flavor was so intense it was AWESOME!!!!!

In a word...Yummy! This is perfect for a potluck, brunch, or a quick dinner paired with a green salad. In fact, no recipes from Paula Deen have been nothing short of delicious. The deep dish crust is tasty, and the fresh basil adds a nice flavor. I've made this twice, and made it with dried basil and compared the two. Both are good, but I like the fresh basil as it compliments the tomato well. Very easy to prepare, and a "go to"recipe when I'm short on time.

Dear Paula, I enjoy watching your show. You make fixing food so simple and you seem like such an easy going person. Not to fancy or fussy, but just my type of person to watch. I hope you will be on for a long, long time. I have learned a lot by watching you. I like to cook, but I don't want to do things fancy and with a lot of things you don't normally have in your home, or kitchen to work with. I am going to try and make the tomato pie. I see where someone said it was runny. Do you use certain tomatoe's with this? Just wondering. Keep up the good work, Alice

A good friend baked your tomato pie for me and it was so delicious I got your recipe and have baked it for friends (who loved it too). I still have some homegrown ripe tomatoes so I'm going to make it again today. It's one of the best recipes I have and quite unique. Thanks for all the good ideas. Saw you on Dr. Oz recently. Looked like you two were having a lot of fun. Sue

Made this for a ladies night and was a tremendous success. Added sliced green zuchini, chopped red onion for a little more snap, and black olives for color. A great dish, especially when the guest is a vegetarian.

I've never understood someone blanching a tomato to peel it. Just 'peel' it...it's not hard. I'm even left-handed and I can do it easily. I just think that heat or cold changes a tomato. Just sayin....
