A twist on tomato pie

It's no lie that I loved the tomato pie I made the other week.  And lucky for me, the pie crust I used came in a package of 2 and that 2nd crust kept calling my name , begging to be used again and soon!

I think all that thinking about tomato pie lead me to thinking about a twist on the recipe, what else could I make a pie from....hmm. This recipe almost sounded like a quiche recipe to me, great on it's own, but at the same time, open to other possibilities.

Broccoli. That sounds like the winner. I blanched some broccoli and cut up a Black Krim heirloom tomato picked right from the vine in my backyard! Now there is a winning combination! Seeded and salted the tomato slices and let them sit for a bit. Seeding the tomatoes I think is a good tip to keep things from getting too mushy.

I didn't use the basil this time around, instead I used McCormick's seasoned sea salt to season the pie, which is a great discovery thanks to my good friend and fellow foodie, Amanda. :)

Everything else was the same as the original recipe (see August 20 post for that link).

The end result?....DELICIOUSNESS!



The broccoli just chillin' while the tomatoes are salting.

It may have been a weird combo, but I made pork cutlets with sauerkraut that day as well.

Tomato pie

While surfing the net the other day, I came across this recipe for tomato pie. What luck as I still had a few tomatoes left from Tim, and I came across a roadside stand where I got a few yellow and orange tomatoes. I had high hopes for this and it did not disappoint!
The recipe really is easy and comes together in no time. Don't rush to cut it after it bakes, it really needs to set up and firm up a bit.
It would make a great light dinner with a side salad, our even a lunch or brunch.  I had the leftovers for breakfast and the only bad part was when it was gone! For dinner, we had salad and grilled chicken with it.
This was delicious! The basil! The cheese! The tomatoes! Luckily, the pre-made crusts I bought come 2 to a package so I wil be making this again and soon!
