What do you do when you are a first-time gardener and it's too much of a success?
Make pie!
There are some steps to it, but it's really quite simple and surprisingly delicious - as TOH already dubbed it...
Start out by baking your pastry shell. Let it cool. Put an even first layer of tomatoes down. I used cherry tomatoes because I have an abundance of them in my garden. It calls for plum tomatoes, but personally I love the bite-sizes... .
Evenly sprinkle the green onions next.
Next, layer the rest of the tomatoes on top.
Sprinkle with the basil, salt and pepper. Spread the mayo/cheese mixture next.
Lastly, sprinkle the bacon and Parmesan.
Even though it says it serves 8, if you're serving it as an entree, it's closer to 4 or 5... However, it'd be a great side to something and THEN, yes, it would serve closer to 8 people!
