Why Is My Tomato Pie Watery?
Your tomato pie may be watery due to several reasons. Firstly, tomato slices contain a significant amount of water, which can seep into the crust during baking. Secondly, the tomatoes may not have been drained thoroughly, causing excess liquid to accumulate in the pie. Thirdly, the crust may not have been pre-baked, leading to a soggy base. To avoid a watery tomato pie, try pre-baking the crust, draining excess liquid from the tomatoes, and using a combination of tomato paste and cheese to bind the filling.
