This is a "rerun of a post I did in 2010 on this recipe. I made the pie again today and have added the recipe onto this post. Enjoy!
While reading the Boston Globe yesterday I saw a recipe for Tomato Pie that seemed intriguing. It is layered with cheese and tomatoes with a crust of Ritz crackers on top. Well that all sounded too fabulous not to make so I went out at lunch, stopped at the local farm stand and got some tomatoes so I could make this last night. It is a little involved and takes some time but the result was just delicious. I made a couple of adjustments to the recipe such as adding bacon and somewhat less mayonnaise. Here are some photos for your enjoyment.
