Peep and Saliha have both posted some lovely recipes for tomato pies, but I happened to have all the stuff to make this one, but I subbed a half onion, thinly sliced, for the green onions.
The basil was totally lost in this dish! Would never know it was there.
I topped the pie with some of my fresh marjoram, oregano and chives and I could taste those, but not the basil.
Suggestions as to what to do next time to taste (and even SEE) basil? Just add more?
Otherwise, it was delicious (of course, it's Paula Deen!) - served with Brown & Serve sausages and wilted lettuce salad.
Hard to present it as a wedge of pie when I cut it hot, but what the heck.
