Delicio Recipe List

I asked the Hubby to go pick the ripest, prettiest tomatoes he could find from the garden. I told him that I wanted to cook a tomato pie. He said, "A what?" I laughed and told him he'd like it! Most people don't know much about tomato pie unless their Grandmama made it. Quite frankly, I don't remember Mama or my Grandmama making a tomato pie. The first time I tried it was in Santee, SC at  Lone Star Barbecue & Mercantile . That first taste was enough to inspire me to make them from then on! I finished the pie and offered a slice to him. He is now hooked!  I was short on tomatoes because I had already processed a lot for sauce the day before, so this pie is a little pitiful. The next one will be more substantial! LOL This is what I found on the counter this morning! I think he liked it! LOL 1 - 9 inch pie shell (or homemade pie crust, below) 1/2 cup chopped onion 3 cups chopped tomatoes 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon dried basil 2 cups cheese I used a co...

It is very easy and you probably have all the ingredients on hand. You can change the spices or the type of cheese. I want to add pepperoni or sausage next time! My best advice with this recipe is preheat your oven and start at the lowest time range and keep your eye on them. If you walk away and let it go to long, you'll have a tray of hollow bites and melted cheese all over the place! You can see that mine already started to melt and hollow. 1-2 packages refrigerated canned biscuits (depending on how big you want your tree)* 1 block mozzarella cheese, cut into small chunks Egg wash (1 egg whisked with 1 tbsp water) 1/4 cup butter, melted 1/4 Parmesan cheese 1/2 t garlic powder 1/2 t basil 1/2 t oregano Salt and Pepper, to taste Preheat oven to 450 degrees.  Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
