This tomato pie recipe is a favorite of mine! It's the first time I've made it this year. There's just something about using tomatoes out of the garden versus from a grocery store that makes it taste so much better!
My picture doesn't do it justice but my photographer (husband) was still at work when it came out of the oven so I had to manage without him. :)

Mmm, this looks delicious. I'm drooling over all the recipes you have. Newest follower! :)
ReplyDeleteThe first time my Mom said she was making tomato pie, I gagged a bit. Then we ate it and it's become a family favorite of my own little family and my in-laws. Paula Deen's recipe is also the one I use. YUM!
ReplyDelete1 of my all time favorites we just discovered last year too! Sometimes I also brush the inside of the pie shell lightly with Dijon. Can't wait for this years tomato crop. pS You can easily cut back on the mayo and cheese anf it still tastes great.
