Tomatoes are normally in abundance this time of year. Whether from your garden, neighbor or farmers market. This recipe is yummy and delicious and uses up those tomatoes.

1/2 pound sausage,
1 c. chopped onion,
2 cloves minced garlic,
1 egg,
2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard,
1/2 c. light cream,

about 3 tomatoes sliced.


Cook sausage in fry pan in small amount of olive oil. Chunk sausage into pieces. Add onion and garlic. Careful to not burn garlic.
In a small bowl, mix together 2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard, 1 egg and 1/2 cup light cream. {I used half n half.} Stir into cooled sausage mixture.
Sprinkle 1 cup shredded mozzarella in bottom of uncooked pie pastry shell. Pour sausage and egg mixture on top of mozzarella.
Make a layer of sliced tomatoes covering the entire top of sausage/egg mixture. Sprinkle with 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle top of pie with a bit of dried basil and oregano.
