Mini Tomato Pies

Submitted by Michael Goforth


About the cook: Growing up in Southeast Tennessee, I became accustomed to hunting, fishing, harvesting, and foraging at a young age. With this responsibility of self-reliance, came a great sense of making the most of these spoils. I quickly began to take interest in cooking for pleasure instead of just for mere sustenance.

About the dish: A creamy, savory, and crispy appetizer, sure to please any guest. Serve with champagne or any sparkling white wine to add a classy and unique start to any dinner party or brunch.
