If Summer Had A Flavor… This Tomato Pie Would Be It

When I get put in charge of bringing the snack for our book club group and tomatoes are in season, I am taking this. The ladies all love it. Most of the time I have to make at least two pies because the first one goes so quickly. What’s nice about this is you don’t have to worry about keeping it warm. It tastes just fine after it’s been sitting out for a while and it reaches room temperature. It’s even good right out of the fridge, which is nice if you have any leftover!
