I have been enjoying this eggplant, tomato pie for years! It’s one of my family’s favorite summer dishes we love to have this on our dinner table all year round! This eggplant, tomato pie is a healthy dish that’s perfect for everybody.
Eggplant, tomatoes, herbs, and cheese – are the main ingredients you need to make this pie. You can easily find them in your local grocery store or backyard if you enjoy gardening like mu husband. This recipe is pretty customizable so feel free to adjust it depending on your preference. I love this as is with the tomato slices as the crust is topped with eggplant mixture, cheese, and fresh herbs. Just the perfect balance of everything which suits my taste. Make sure not to be shy with the seasoning as eggplants have proven to be a little bland. Alternately, you can roast it to wring out even more flavor.
