Tomato Crescent Roll Pie

Submitted by Notherjack

"This was brought up to the cabin we stayed at in Stehekin, WA by my cousin by way of her daughter, Cinda. Lovely dish and very tasty. We made the crust with Bisquick because it packs in better than crescent rolls. Either way its a delicious idea."

This was a five star recipe had I not had trouble with the cheese mixture. It was difficult to spread over the tomato mix. Other than that the flavor, even using dried basil, was just great. After it cooked for about 15 minutes I took it out of the oven and spread the cheddar cheese mixture a little better to cover the pie more evenly then put it back in the oven to finish cooking. That worked great. I can't wait for the fresh tomatoes this summer. Thanks so much for sharing. Made for Spring PAC 2013

Made this for my Dad's memorial service a few weeks ago. Tomatoes were one of his favorites. It was lovely. Thanks.
