I’ve been making this for 20 years. A must every summer. Best with homegrown tomatoes. I make my own pie crust, recipe is posted here. -

After making this as written for 20 years, I changed it up a little today. It’s chile season here in Colorado and I added some medium and hot roasted chiles. A mix of pepper havarti with the mozzarella. Game changer!
