Tomato Pie

[magnusfide]

I found a Classic Southern Tomato Pie recipe with bacon in it. Of course. I'll have to try this when the tomatoes start appearing in the local farmer's market.

This, on the other hand, sounds excellent:

Fresh Tomato Quiche

I'm diabetic, so pie crusts must be on my "eat rarely" list, but I'd definitely go for this.

Or just toss together a Caprese Salad with some added onions and avocados and dive in...

As long as it's Dukes Mayonnaise, it's all good. 🙂

Yes, it's very similar to a quiche but without eggs and milk.

Although the recipe skips it, the specific variety of tomato makes a huge difference in these recipes. Oval tomatoes, aka "paste" tomatoes like Roma or San Marzano, are the best for these recipes. Round slicers like Better Boys, Mortage Lifters or Green Zebras are watery and will need to be salted and drained before use.

I had one of these at a restaurant in Scottsboro, Alabama. Carlile's.

The mayo blends in with the cheese when it's baked. I never even knew it had mayo in it until I saw the recipe and I'm pretty good at being able to identify ingredients of any dish I'm eating.

It was flavorful. Definitely a winner with herself and I. The crust was thin and crispy too. So I'm going to give it a go.
