Italian Plum Tomato Prosciutto Cheesy Pie



This is been a great year for our garden here in Florida, I can't get enough recipes for all these plum tomatoes, I couldn't wait to share this light but perfect brunch, or dinner with everyone, it's a family favorite for years! Can you tell how proud I am of these babies, I think it's my third picture, I can tell you one thing, I have never had luck growing my own produce, animals always eat them!  So this is the only reason for my bragging rights this year, please forgive me, I do feel guilty not sharing!
