Savory Tomato Pie

Tomato season is under way, and creating a dish full of ripe tomatoes is always a must. Tomatoes come in various shapes and sizes, but as long as they are fresh and flavorful, any combination of tomatoes works. Use what you have in your garden or grab some at the farmers market.

Tomato pie is a wonderful way to use an overabundance of fresh summertime tomatoes. It’s classic comfort food, made throughout most of the South, with layers of tomatoes, basil and a cheesy mixture baked into a piecrust that is not only tasty but also hard to resist. Delightful as a light dinner or served as a side dish at a family gathering, tomato pie always seems to make appearances at brunch, lunch and cookouts.
