Oh yeah, Elly!!!

Looks like you're ready!!!

So far we're only swamped with Cherry Tomatoes.

I had to call in some back-up eaters!!!

We Southeast PAs get a late start, but we get there, right?

Great looking maters girl. Our really did not come in well this year. Last year we were giving them away. Nothing better than a BLT with home cured bacon and some of Mrs Scars sourdough  

 

[pineywoods]

Looks like a great start!!

 

[venture]

You are going to have good eats!

Good luck and good smoking.

Wow that pie looks awesome!!!! Could you share the recipe?

 

[ellymae]

Thanks - happy to..

Pre cook 1 pie shell and let it cool.

Slice (dor dice) your tomatos - enough to fill the shell. LET THEM DRAIN WELL....

Once the tomatos are sliced and drained, layer them in the pie shell with some basil.

Top with a mixture of 1 cup mayo mixed with 1 cup shreaded cheese of your choosing - some folks like swiss, some mozzarella, I like a cheedar mix.

Put it in a 350 degree oven till the cheese/mayo mixture gets bubbly.

Slice and enjoy.

Wow. I wish mine looked that good. The heat here is taking it's toll on the garden this year. That pie looks fantastic. Can't thing of a better combo than toms, basil and cheese.
