Today we're doing a huge garden harvest! We'll be picking apples, pears, tomatoes, and peppers and making a homemade tomato pie! We'll also harvest seed from strawflowers, celosia, and sunflowers. Then I'll show you my secret tip for removing chaff from seed!
Tomato Pie Recipe -
1 (9 inch) deep dish pie crust
Enough tomatoes to fill pie crust almost to the top. I used 8 for this one, but it depends on the size of your tomatoes, peeled and sliced
Small amount of parmesan cheese for crust
8 slices of bacon - cooked, drained, and chopped
½-1 cup chopped fresh basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
¼ cup mayonnaise
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Put a layer of parm in the bottom of crust. Layer the tomatoes, bacon, basil, and spices. Mix together cheese and mayo. Top with cheese mixture. Add a few shakes of cayenne pepper if desired. Cover loosely with foil. Back for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 30 minutes.
