An Unusual Savory Option: Pimento-Cheese-and-Tomato Pie

This is a Southern pimento cheese and tomato pie recipe for a quiche-like pie that will delight any vegetarians around your holiday table and is a lovely side dish as well. Make sure to use very ripe tomatoes, which will enhance the pie’s flavor, and note that the recipe recommends crumbling bacon over the top to “push it over the edge.”

Thanksgiving Root Vegetable Pie

This Thanksgiving Root Vegetable Pie is another vegetarian-pleasing alternative with a very seasonal feel. It combines a pie crust with mushrooms, sweet potato mash and roasted root vegetables, including less commonly used ones such as sunchokes and purple potatoes. The recipe allows for early preparation of all the ingredients apart from the vegetables, which can be roasted before assembling the pie and baking it.

From all of us at Andersen Group Realty, Happy Thanksgiving!
