Can I use a frozen pie crust to make tomato pie?
Tomato pie can be made using a homemade pie crust or a frozen pie crust. Either way, the pie crust will need to be baked prior to making your tomato pie. Follow the directions on the frozen pie crust for baking an empty shell. If using homemade, be sure to pierce your crust with a fork all over the bottom and sides and use pie weights or raw beans to weight down your crust.
