When we moved to NC from IL. we stopped at nursery to look at plants and they had some food tents. Well I was going thru one with lots of fresh garden veggies and some homemade treats. One of those treats was a Southern Tomato Pie! It looked so good that I bought one. It was awesome!! Here a recipe I use, just like the one I first tried! I have use Heirloom tomatoes, yellow or a mixture. Yum!!! I would love to see this in a restaurant menu as an appetizer with a dollop of sour cream!!
