Hi Patty,
It was really good for lunch today. All the flavors were stronger. I had my slice with half of an avacado. Yum!

I think I will try this too.
Let me know how you like it, Tina!
I haven't done any blogging before but I had to let you know how much I appreciate your posting of the "Savory Summer Pie" recipe. I was preparing the pie for my daughter's wedding rehearsal dinner and realized I did not have the recipe here in Pennsylvania(I originally got it from the Southern Living magazine in about July 2000 and keep it in my book in Florida.) It is one of my favorites and I have shared it with many friends as well as served it hundreds of times and always received compliments. I googled for it today and so thank you for putting it on your blog.
I have tried this recipe and love it. The last time I made it, I took 1/2-3/4" slices of our fresh home-grown tomatoes and cooked them on a cookie sheet 4 1/2 hrs. at 200 deg. F to make a homemade somewhat "sundried tomato". Then I heavily covered the top of the pie with them. The flavor was out of this world!The tomatoes had a perfect intense, sweet flavor.mmmmmm
