Tomato Pie is really a savory tomato casserole. I first had it at Mary Mac's Tea Room on Ponce DeLeon Avenue in Atlanta. The recipe was not in their cookbook and I asked to have the cook come to my table. She wrote the recipe in the book for me. Needless to say she did not give me all the details. I have researched and come up with the full recipe. It never fails to bring rave reviews whenever I serve it. Everyone wants the recipe. This is easy to divide and use a smaller dish.
