This garden fresh pie is sure to please your bacon and tomato lovers. A longtime friend shared this recipe with me. I couldn't wait to make it. And I was not disappointed when I did. She found the recipe on "The Southern Lady Cooks" http://thesouthernladycooks.com/2012/06/13/tomato-pie/ I've tweaked with some very minor changes. I used my "100 Year Old Pie Crust" recipe that always makes any pie better. I used 1/2 of the ingredients for the pie crust. It made a very nice thick flakey crust. http://www.justapinch.com/recipes/dessert/pie/100-year-old-pie-crust-recipe.html

How To Make garden fresh tomato and bacon pie

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Step 2

With fork spear bottom of crust. Bake crust for about 10 minutes in preheated oven.
Step 3

Remove crust from oven. Reduce heat to 350 degrees.
Step 4

Now add a layer of cheese, onion, and tomatoes to pie crust. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, oregano and basil. Continue layering until ingredients are gone except for 1/2 cup of cheese. I had 2 layers. NOTE: Chop tomatoes and drain in a colander for at least 30 minutes before adding to pie. You can slice the tomatoes if desired. Use firm ripe tomatoes. You don’t want the pie to be juicy
Step 5

Combine the crumbled bacon, mayonnaise, and cheese: spread on top of the pie. NOTE: Add'l mayo may be needed but don’t go overboard. Sprinkle with extra cheese if desired.
Step 6

Bake for 35 to 40 minutes. Let stand for at least 15 minutes before cutting. Enjoy!
