Ingredients

• 1.5 cups almond flour
• 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• 4 medium-sized tomatoes, sliced
• 0.5 cup basil leaves, fresh and chopped
• 3 scallions, thinly sliced
• 0.5 cup mayonnaise
• 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, melted butter, one egg, salt, and half a teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well until a dough forms.

Step 3

Press the dough evenly into a 9-inch pie plate to form the crust. Poke some holes in the crust with a fork to prevent bubbling.

Step 4

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until it starts to golden. Remove from oven and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 5

While the crust is baking, place the sliced tomatoes on a paper towel or kitchen towel. Sprinkle lightly with salt and let sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture. Pat dry with another towel.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the remaining egg, mayonnaise, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, and shredded mozzarella cheese together until well combined.

Step 7

Layer the tomato slices evenly on the cooled crust, followed by a sprinkle of fresh basil and thinly sliced scallions.

Step 8

Spread the cheese and mayonnaise mixture evenly over the top of the tomato and scallions layer, ensuring it covers the top.

Step 9

Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes until the cheese topping is golden and bubbly.

Step 10

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Low Carb Savory Southern Tomato Pie!
