Bacon Tomato Pie
"We have so many generous friends with gardens who send fresh vegetables and herbs our way this time of year. I love tomatoes, my husband loves bacon, so I concocted a bacon tomato pie. Served with a salad, it hits the spot on a warm summer day. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did."
