tomato pie, Anyone?

[hensylee]

one baked pie shell
layer pie shell with sliced ripe tomatoes
layer tomatoes with cooked, crumbled bacon (about 1/2 lb)
{my Jewish judge friend asked if turkey or chicken would do - yes, long as it's smoked (for that flavor)}
1/2 onion diced small
layer with cream cheese
layer with yellow cheese

bake in oven a few minutes, long enough to melt cheese.

Serve fresh from oven, cold from fridge, or room temp.

Bon apetit

Ann:

Sounds delicious! Would be wonderful for a brunch.....

Think I'll tinker with it, see how it works with reduced-fat cheeses.... I'm addicted to maple-flavored bacon, and this would be absolutely wonderful....

Do you think it could be frozen after cooking?

 

[hensylee]

I doubt tomatoes will freeze well and when thawed, they'd muck up the pie shell. But play around with your ingredients - it can be such a fun recipe that way. I might try sour cream instead of the cream cheese - or along with it.

I first found it at our grocery store in the deli section. Paid about 6 or 7 $ for it and then asked them how they made it. it's so simple to make and can be a standard company dish or just a quick supper at home.

I was thinking Mozzarell would be good and maybe a little fresh basil right before you serve

Sounds really good! Did you slice up the cream cheese to place it on the pie?

 

[hensylee]

just let it soften and slather it on. (cream cheese)

 

[Ross]

Now before I go gettin all excited, have you tried this delicacy as of yet?

 

[hensylee]

yes, I have eaten dozens of them over the years. They are delicious. Everybody loves them.

Thanks, Ann,

I am very curious to try it!! Thanks for sharing. [I tried your rolls, and they disappeared in no time. I could not save or freeze any]

Miss Ann,

This sounds good, but I have a question. How well does the softened cream cheese "slather" over the crumbled bacon? I can see my clumsy self ending up with a ball of crumbled bacon/cream cheese. I guess if that happens I can serve the bacon cheese ball with crackers?

We have cream cheese in a brick, or cream cheese that is spreadable in little plastic tubs.
I'm guessing the spreadable would be easiest to use. YUMMO

The tubs of whipped cream cheese would probably work well

well, cut it in chunks or melt down in microwave oven. It'll also melt in the oven as you are melting the top yellow cheese. But I like the sour cream, too.

I guess I'm going to the store and get the ingredients. Sounds too good to pass up.

Thanks Ann. That I can do!

This sounds wonderful! I knew I grew my own tomatoes for a reason. LINDA
