Tomato Pie
Description
Perfect with tea and coffee. To prevent the filling from being too moist, I recommend adding a light breading using corn flour. It turns out really delicious. In addition to hard cheese, you can also add soft cheese, such as ricotta. There's plenty of room for experimentation with this recipe, especially since it's a great summer dish. Remember to serve it warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
