I have joined a card group - it is a group of six gals from church. Now we are all on perpetual diets and we all want veggies of some sort. I don't like to cook plain old veggies and thought this sounded really good. Not sure about the jalapeno yet,
Well both daughter and grandson (11th grade - driving to school) have started back to work and to school so my days are a little freer and my nights a little fuller. If you are new to my blog they live here with my hubs and me.

I am making tomato pie today with a recipe very similar to yours. I use mozzarella and Gruyere and because of stomach issues will not use hot peppers. It is a great way to use up some of the many tomatoes I have now and it is delish. Next week I will make a tomato tart.
Enjoy!
I have never heard of tomato pie but it is a "fruit" after all and should be good. Pies of mine never turn out well so maybe I can get someone to make it for me.
I have not heard of it before and I would like it for sure, but it is so fatty I gained 2 pounds reading the ingredients, so on my food plan it is a no. but if it were not I would love it
This recipe looks delicious, Sandie. I wonder how the pie wouldn't get soggy though, with the tomatoes, even though it calls for them to be drained. Heating up tomatoes seems to always draw every drop of liquid out of them. Perhaps putting some dehydrated veggie of some sort, on the bottom of the pie crust before layering the tomatoes, would help. At any rate this looks delicious & is well worth the try, in my book. Have a wonderful week, my friend. Love~ Andrea xoxo
Hi Sandie - fresh tomatoes in a pie are delicious and I love a bubbly crispy cheese topping - looks so good - just had lunch fortunately! Cheers Hilary
I like thar recipe. Might make it down the road. How fun to join the card group at church. Always like a good game of cards. Summer flew by, at least here.

Thanks for sharing that recipe! I have lots of ripe tomatoes here that need using up so this is like perfect timing! I used to belong to a card group years ago and it was a lot of un and good food too. It's been so long since I played cards now of any kind that I've probably forgotten how. Lots do go back to school this week but here we begin after Labor Day weekend. Enjoy your quieter days and busy nights !
This kicks up a lot of memories. Mama used to make tomato pie. Her recipe passed with her I guess. She was from North Georgia and the country girl never left her. NO veggie was ever wasted. This sounds delicious. I wish we had some fresh tomatoes...
Love from Virginia
I love tomato pie. I watched a show that visited Mary Mac's in Atlanta and tried their tomato pie. I got the recipe and Mom and I are going to make it soon! I'll let you know how I like it. Good to see you blogging again. Hugs!
Hi Sandie!!! SO good to see you posting again!!! And I mean that from the bottom of my heart! I missed you. Wah, summer does not have much longer, enjoy the tomatoes while you can. Did you grow any this year?
sounds real good
Of course, that looks good!! Tomatoes, cheese....yum!
I think Tim would like this
I have made tomato pie before, and it's fabulous! Have you all gone back to school? My boys returned today.
I made a similar pie once and it just didn't turn out - there must be a trick to that. Mine was very soggy - I salivate over the photo of yours. :)
Oh Sandie, that sounds yummified. I'd LOVE to have a piece of it. Susan
sounds tasty indeed.
I have made that tomato pie and it IS delicious! Hmmmmm, perhaps for dinner:) Have a blessed day dear friend, HUGS!
It sounds yummy. Did you make it yet?
Tomato pie!!! I love it! Thanks for this recipe and now I'm off to buy tomatoes as I have everything else for this. Yummo!
That verse from Proverbs is one of my very favorites because it is truth!
Looks amazing!! Never had tomato pie before but with this wonderful recipe I can forsee one in the near future - especially with fresh tomatoes from the fruit stand, yum!!
I love tomatoes but never had them in a pie before? Life gets back to normal when school starts it seems.
Um yes, that looks delicious! And even moreso if someone were to make it for me and bring it to me. LOL I only say that because I always do the cooking and baking. Sometimes it's nice to have it done for me, but I can't usually eat out because of all the additives and preservatives. :-(
Thanks a lot for this recipe. My son doesn't like tomato. Maybe hai g this recipe I can get him to like eating it.
Argh....my fat fingers. I mean "using this recipe"
I have never had a tomato pie, but if I close one eye and squint just right at your photo, it looks like PIZZA PIE, which of course, I LOVE.
Have a super weekend!
