Tomato Pie

I found this recipe in an old Woman's Day magazine. I can't try it yet because the tomato selection is less than desirable right now, but I plan to try it once the tomatoes are looking good again! ZWT 3: U.S. Regional (tomatoes)

• Ready In: 1 hr 10 mins

Ingredients

• 1  refrigerated ready-to-use  pie crust (or use your favorite pie dough recipe)

9. Sprinkle 1 cup leek mixture over bottom of crust; sprinkle with cheese.
10. Lay tomato wedges around edges and in center.
11. Top with rest of leek mixture; sprinkle crumbs around edge.
12. Bake 35 minutes or until hot and tomatoes are soft.
13. Remove from oven and let stand at least 5 minutes, but no more than 1 hour, before serving.
14. (If left to sit for more than 1 hour, the crust may get soggy).
