Makes: 10 Difficulty Level: 3 Ready In: 30-60 minutes

Ingredients:
5 tomatoes (I only had three tomatoes)

1 pasty for 9-inch pie shell

2 cups Cheddar cheese cubes (I probably only used a little over one cup of cheese)

1/2 cup Italian style bread crumbs

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon sugar (oops, forgot this!!)

2 teaspoons salt

Directions:Preheat oven to 375. Cut 4 of tomatoes into cubes, slice remaining tomato. On a lightly floured surface roll out pastry; fit into a 9-inch pie pan and flute edges. In a large bowl combine tomato cubes, cheese cubes, bread crumbs, flour, sugar and salt. Toss until well blended. Spoon into pie shell. Bake 30 minutes, until cheese cubes melt and tomato cubes are soft. Remove from oven and garnish with tomato slices. Remove from oven and garnish with tomato slices. Return to oven and bake 10 minutes longer until tomatoes are soft. Cut into wedges and serve.

I had a couple of extra tomatoe's on hand and the pie crust so i went in search of a recipe to use them in. I didn't have enough tomatoes, but I thought why not. I would suggest to use at least 4 tomatoes. I was not going to the grocery store the night before Thanksgiving :). I will make this again, but I will add onions, garlic, and maybe basil. I did add shredded parmesean to the top before I put it in the oven. It needed a little kick because it was a tad bland, but it is a good starting point!
