What is Eggplant Pie?

It’s a baked savory dish with eggplant, cheese, tomato, and herbs in a pie or tart form—rich, flavorful, and Mediterranean-inspired.

Can I Freeze Eggplant Tomato Pie?

Yes! Cool completely, wrap tightly in foil, and freeze up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven directly from frozen at 375°F for 40 minutes.

Nope. While similar in base ingredients, tomato pie uses a pie crust and has a softer, more layered consistency—not crisp like pizza dough.

A savory and cheesy vegetable pie layered with eggplant, tomatoes, and herbs, perfect for a comforting vegetarian dish.

In a bowl, beat the egg with melted butter and pesto, then pour over the layered vegetables.
