There was a time I absolutely detested tomatoes. Everyone I ate tasted bland and flavorless (blah!) so they didn’t make it to my plate often.  

What a shame!

It wasn’t until I tasted a juicy fresh off-the-vine tomato that convinced me that tomatoes need to be the star of the menu more often.

Tomato Pie Recipe

If you are lucky enough to grow your own tomatoes then you are probably harvesting loads of those juicy babies now!

I picked up these Roma tomatoes from my farmer’s market for next to nothing!

My purchase lightened the load (barely) from one of my favorite organic produce stands and my goal was to make tomato sauce, but those plans got derailed as the days ticked away.

Does that happen to you too? Big plans for a fun project that only gets to the planning stage? Humph!

Well, I can’t say I was too disappointed because I made this scrumptious tomato pie instead!

What a tasty spring and summer meal!

This pie resembles a margarita pizza, except the tomatoes are triple what you might be used to!

Add this pie to your brunch menu or enjoy a slice for a light lunch. This is easy to make and you can save even more time if you use a purchased pie crust like I did.

If you prefer a homemade crust, then be sure to check out the recipe I used to make these meat and potato hand pies.
