  1. I made this recipe just as it was posted. We just loved it. It had a very nice texture and seasoning! I think I will give it a go with some ham added in for a brunch dish. I have scads of tomatoes! Thanks for a GREAT new recipe!
     
  2. This is such a treat for tomato & cheese lovers + exactly what you described ... simple, tasty & perfect use for a bag of tomatoes I got from the garden of a friend. Unable to get prepeared pie shells here, I used the crust portion of Recipe #164584 by Derf (a favorite). I made the recipe exactly as written, but did have to bake it longer to get it fully puffed & set. I served it as a side-dish to my Recipe #235183, but think it would also work as a main-dish w/the addition of bacon & then served w/a green salad & crusty bread. That will be my next effort. We loved this, Kellie! Thx for sharing the recipe w/us. :-) Edited to add on 8/24: Got a 2nd bag of tomatoes from friends & remade this recipe using bacon as a further add. So yummy & DH ate leftovers for breakfast the next day. :-)

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live on the beautiful Central Coast of California. I am a 46 year old single mom and student (I got my AA degree in business management May 05). I used to love to cook and try new recipes that is until my kids got to the point of...YUCK! I'm not eating that! Thank goodness they are growing up and willing to try new things now, so I am once again trying out new recipes. I love to collect recipes and Recipezaar has made it so easy and paper free!!! (*cringes* and thinks of the drawers full little pieces of paper with recipes on them) My favorite cookbook is my mom's old (1930's) Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook. Followed closely by the "______ the Beautiful" series, of which California the Beautiful (of course) is tops on that list.
