Pie with Tomatoes and Lettuce
Description
Tomato and Lettuce Pie is simply a wonderful pie for at least three reasons. First, it is quick to prepare—and that already matters a lot. Second, this pie recipe is versatile and does not insist on exact replication—you can easily change the filling ingredients depending on what you have on hand. Third, on its own, being crispy and not greasy, it is an ideal snack that goes well with everything—soups, salads, drinks. It is also great by itself. In short, a must-have recipe in any cook’s arsenal :) Serve cooled or slightly warm.
