Tomatoe Pie & Chicken Coops

Last night we made an Herb Tomato Tart. The baby buttas are a little tomato shy but they loved the fresh summer tomato pasta so they were excited about this dish as well! And besides - tomatoes & tomato pie is something that the south just does well & does often!

Here is the recipe:

Herb Tomato Tart
Ingredients:
3 tbsp unsalted butter
2 cups thinly sliced onion
1 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 cup of milk
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 tbsp chopped fresh chives
1 1/2 tsp chopped fresh tarragon
1 1/2 tsp chopped fresh basil
1 cup Cheddar Cheese shredded
1 unbaked 9-inch deep dish pie crust
1 tomato, thinly sliced

Preheat over to 425 degrees. Melt butter in large skillet. Add onions and saute until tender. Stir in flour. Set aside. Beat eggs and milk in a small bowl. Add salt, pepper, parsley, chives, tarragon, and basil. Place sauteed onions and cheese into pie crust. Cover with egg mixture. Bake 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees. Bake an additional 15 minutes. Arrange tomato slices on top of pie. Bake until tomatoes being to brown about 10 minutes.
