French Tomato Mustard Pie

Excellent! This dish gets one of my rare "To Die For" ratings ! DH ate half the pie himself. I made the recipe as directed using a pre-rolled (Pillsbury) pie crust, Dijon mustard and the Herbes De Provence sent to me from the chef as part of the "Salt and Pepper Shaker Swap". Kasha lives in Provence (France) and this wonderful dish makes me wish I did also. This recipe will be the star of my "book of special tricks". I served the pie with Broccoli with Lemon-Garlic Crumbs #71074. Thanks Kasha for this very special recipe.

Yummy! We really enjoyed the mustardy pie crust. As other have noted, the crust did end up soggy even though we squeezed as much juice/seeds from the tomatoes as we could before slicing them. Next time I will try pre-baking the crust. However, it may just be the nature of the dish. Either way, we enjoyed it. It was a great way to use up six tomatoes as our garden explodes.

I enjoyed this and will make it again. I agree that the quality of tomatoes is very important!

so 6 tomatoes did not fit in my pie crust. mine must have been much smaller then yours or my tomatoes much bigger. i fit in about 3 i think. i ended up subbing half regular mustard and half dijon because i wasn't happy with my homemade stuff and i didn't have herbes de provence but i did have some lovely fresh dill so i went with that. wish i would have added some fresh cracked pepper. i was guessing on the cheese amounts and wasn't sure i had enough so i threw in a little mozza that needed to be used. i was worried about the amount of mustard so i did let it cook a bit longer to try to mellow it out as much as possible. i too needed to drain after cooking but it is early spring so tomatoes are not at their best. the mustard does mellow out but it still completely dominates the dish to the exclusion of all other flavor. kind of gave me a headache. if i make this again it will be with less then half the mustard. this is edible but only just.

So simple to make and yet so VERY tasty! I baked the crust before filling and then scattered each layer of tomatoes with the Herbes de Provence. Brought back memories of a tomato pie I enjoyed at a sidewalke cafe when living in Aix-en-Provence. Thanks for the memories Kasha!
