No, this isn’t a dessert! 😉 Tomato pie is a wonderful lunch or light dinner, though, and it works very well as an appetizer, too. My sister introduced this dish to me, and I love it and try to make it at least a few times each year when tomatoes are at their best. The smell of it baking, as all of the fresh basil perfumes the house, is amazing! I made this one today to serve to friends for lunch tomorrow, and I can hardly wait. 🙂
