Wow this was a huge hit at my house. I did not have the Manchego cheese so I substituted Parmesan cheese and it was delicious. We grow a large selection of organic and heirloom tomatoes so I used a variety of Pink Brandywine, Mr. Stripy, Cherokee purple, and Celebrity tomatoes. It was as beautiful as it was delicious. Making it again tonight.

I think the recipe was fantastic. Used Brandywine fresh tomatos and the flavor was outstanding. Took no time to eat. My wife worked a long time to prepare. I owe her big time!

Absolutely divine - everyone loved it. This dish is well-worth the time and effort. I will make the crust in advance the next time though. I didn't have heirloom tomatoes and used local farm tomatoes.

Great! Takes a little time to prepare, but oh so worth it! I used heirloom tomatoes from my garden and the taste was incredible. Don't use prepared pie crust. Make the one in this recipe with the cornmeal...so great with the tomatoes....worth the time to prepare!!! Everyone loved it!

This is an amazingly delicious way to use fresh, sweet tomatoes. If you can't find heirloom's try cherry tomatoes. They take a lot more time to slice, but they are SO SWEET! I used a mixture and I think the cherry tomatoes were my favorite part. I also altered the cheese since Manchego is pricey and a little mild tasting to compete with the tomatoes (though I'm sure it's delicious and if I were back in Spain where it's cheap, I'd use it in a heartbeat!. Instead, I substituted Asiago since it was affordable at my grocer (half the price of Manchego and a bit stronger flavored (at least saltier. The smell of it from the baking pie crust was mouthwatering! And the combination with the onions and tomatoes, to die for! I served it with a yellow watermelon, feta cheese, red onion and black olive salad, also from the Food Network and also delicious. What a summertime feast!

A weekend at home, homegrown tomatoes out of the yen yany tried this recipe. Very good and my worst critic my husband loved it. It was my first time to make a pie crust and the cornmeal made the tomatoes tasted better.Truly will be making this again.

This was outrageously delicious. I made it this past weekend for a get together with friends. I thought at first I could use a pre-made pie crust and promised everyone I would make it. Once I actually looked at the recipe and realized I had to make the crust, I wasn't as thrilled, but boy was it worth it. There are a lot of steps but this was delicious. We couldn't stop eating it.

I was so excited when this pie was on the front cover of the magazine, at the height of tomato season in the North Carolina mountains! I followed the recipe exactly, making the pie crust. I was disappointed, as the crust and the filling had a gritty texture that was unpleasant. This was a very time consuming project, with lackluster results. I will try Paula Dean's version next.

I too bought the current issue just knowing I would make this pie. It was our first time using the manchego cheese. We all loved the pie- it was great fun to make, yes labor intensive, and I confess I too bought a pillsbury crust. I baked the crust first, as on the box for a one crust pie, then when I cooked the pie I covered the exposed crust with tin foil so it would not burn. The home crust may make it better, but it was absolute heaven this way also!

I knew from the moment I laid eyes on this pie on the cover of the magazine that I would make this and I am glad I did. It was wonderful. Now, this pie is ambitious and labor intensive but it turned out to be well worth the effort. I so wanted to take a shortcut and use a store bought crust but I thought the corn meal crust would really add the extra oomph so I made the crust. The corn meal made it a little difficult to work with but I struggled through it and it was great. The filling was wonderful and the tomatoes were delicious (can't go wrong with heirloom tomatoes! I would make this again for a special occasion and would do the crust a day ahead. In a pich, I would do a store bought crust but I know it would not be as amazing as the home-made.
