Tomato Pie with Pimento Cheese


Even as summer slips into autumn, you can still savor the flavor of gorgeous, vine-ripened tomatoes—especially the late-season varieties like Cherokee Purple, Brandywine, or even a hearty Beefsteak.

That’s what makes this Pimento Cheese Tomato Pie such a perfect transitional dish.

Imagine a flaky, golden pastry crust layered with creamy pimento cheese, juicy slices of tomato, crispy bacon, and caramelized shallots, all finished with a scattering of fresh herbs. It’s comfort food and garden-fresh cooking rolled into one, easy enough for a weeknight but impressive enough to serve when company drops by.

Whether you’re gathering the last treasures from your own vines or picking up a basket from the farmer’s market, this pie celebrates everything we love about tomato season—right into fall!

Visit Charleston, South Carolina

Tucked inside a pair of restored 1860s townhomes in Charleston’s historic Cannonborough-Elliottborough district, 86 Cannon is an adults-only retreat that trades bustle for stillness and blends Southern charm with polished luxury. With just ten rooms, the stay feels more like a private club than a hotel—think Frette linens, quiet verandas, a tranquil courtyard, and complimentary wine and cheese each evening.

Spend your day pedaling past hidden gardens on hotel bikes, lounging by the saltwater plunge pool, or slipping into Charleston’s fine dining scene just steps away. Whether it’s oysters by the water or candlelit small plates down a cobblestone lane, the city’s culinary gems are always within reach—and 86 Cannon offers the kind of serene return you’ll want to come back to again and again.
