You say tomato...I say yummy!

I love juicy red, fresh garden tomatoes and yesterday I was lucky enough to get a whole bag from a co-worker!! So last night for "dessert" I made my very first tomato pie http://projects.eveningedge.com/recipes/tomato-pie2/...It is a savory pie that has fresh basil, cheese and plenty of those red slices of heaven! I doctored it up a little bit and added some bacon crumbles (not baco-bits...I actually fried bacon, then crumbled it) The one challenge with the pie was trying to get all the water out of the tomatoes which I will be more aware of next time. David also suggested adding some crushed red pepper and I agree that would add some "flare". After indulging in 2 pieces of the pie it then dawned on me that I should have taken a picture of it to post when it was hot out of the oven but oh well I am still new to this whole thing...next time
