Gluten Free Tomato Basil Pie. Tastes like summer.
RECIPE IDEA: Gluten Free Tomato Basil Pie, a Summer Treat
Hi. It’s Lois in the kitchen at Recipe Idea Shop. I wish I had some fresh tomatoes right now to make this pie. It’s a delightful, light entree for brunch, lunch or supper. It has taken me awhile to put this recipe up for you, but trust me on this, you will want to make it for your next family gathering.
With tomatoes available year around in the U.S., we don’t have to be stymied by a lack of available fruits. Of course, the tomatoes that you get in the supermarket don’t have as much flavor as a good homegrown tomato. But you can generally get excellent Roma or Grape Tomatoes year round, so use those. Roma tomatoes are good because they are a firm tomato that doesn’t have as much juice, so they are terrific for cooking.
