I don't like tomatoes, nor do i like to cook, so i of course haven't tried it - however, have family & friends that love them - so i just emailed the recipe to them. Will let ya'll know if they like it, thanks for posting.

Rosemary,
I do like tomatoes....and the microwave is my best friend ;-)....well, as y'all know.....there's yardening ;-)

Terramadre,

I do LOVE the microwave - and take out - and sandwiches - and playing in the yard....my husband knows how to cook...:)

Yes, I think this recipe is loaded with fat grams, but I splurge every now and then. To me, it reminded me of a pizza-like taste (but better). I also mixed the garlic salt in with all the topping ingredients. I usuallyl make a recipe as stated the first time and then experiment later. I don't know what results you might get with low-fat mayo but it might be worth a try. Some more experienced cooks out there might have an opinion about that. I think you could also substitute turkey bacon, sausage, or just leave out the meat if you want.

I never made the tomato pie, but I do make a version of it. I start with my pizza dough and then line a lasanga pan with it. Then I spread pizza sauce on the bottom, then alternate roasted green peppers, tomatoes, onions, mushrooms, julianned basil, and mozorella (s.p.?) cheese. It comes out like a big thick square pie and is great! I also add garlic sometimes too. I haven't been able to make it this year because I had to pull out my tomatoes. They developed a disease while they were at their peak.

I really like an Italian appetizer, Bruschetta. Thin slices of bread topped with a mixture of diced tomatoes, fresh basil, a little olive oil, salt and pepper. I would kill for this stuff! LOL. Also good with a very thin slice of parmesan cheese on top.

I am about to turn into a tomato. I have been eating tons of them since the end of June. Production is really down right now, and many of the plants look like they are struggling to survive, but I am hoping the ones that make it crank back up in September for a decent Fall crop.

That pie does sound interesting. But a whole jar of Mayo? And bacon and cheese? I couldn't bring myself to make it even if it is magnificent. Although I might order it in a restaurant :)
I make my husband bruschetta (it's pronounced bru-SKET-ta) for lunch several times a week. Although I do several variations, we like goat cheese and grilled chicken on top of the tomatoes then everything toasted. A bit more substantial for a meal.

I am going to miss my tomatoes! We eat several a day and they are sooo good. The rain this year has produced a huge crop, with the grape being the most prolific.

A lover of bruschetta myself, and this thread is making me hungry every time I read it.

Remember, the recipe makes 2 pies. I made 2 with the intent of taking it to work - those guys will eat anything free. We ate a slice each for dinner, so I had a whole pie plus an almost-whole one to share. Everyone loved it, but I agree, you need to make it a side dish.
