in Recipes, Dinner, Meal Kristie’s Southern summer keto tomato pie
Tomato in a pie? Yes, please! This savory keto pie is best with fresh summer tomatoes from a Southern garden. If you can’t get Southern tomatoes, just get tomatoes! This is a savory pie that you will want to make. It’s delicious served with grilled meats.

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Mix parmesan cheese, almond flour, oat fiber, egg, butter and salt. Press into a 9” (23 cm) pie plate, being sure to press the crust up the sides. When the crust is ready, bake for 15 minutes, then allow to cool.
- Arrange sliced tomatoes on the cooled crust. The slices should cover the crust and be about two slices deep. Arrange the onion on top.
- In a separate bowl, combine the mayonnaise and cheese. Spread the mayonnaise mixture over the tomatoes and onions, and out to the edges of the crust to "seal" the toppings.
- Sprinkle dried oregano and dried basil over the top. Bake for about 30 minutes. The topping will be browned and bubbly when done. Let set for at least 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or cold!
Tips!
* The oat fiber can be replaced with 2 tbls of coconut flour (for one pie).
For more flavor, sprinkle chopped, cooked bacon over the tomatoes before baking the pie.
In summary, everyone loved it! It is so refreshing, it can be eaten hot or cold, and the crust tastes awesome!!!!!!
Will definitely prepare again!
In the morning I rolled out the remaining pastry and cut it into circles, and filled them with blue cheese and olives, not too much, sealed them, and baked them, for breakfast.
When I next make keto pastry I will experiment with Indian spices.
I am not sure! I know it will keep 3-5 days in the refrigerator though.
