Original Notes

I found the pie was easier to cut and serve by letting it cool completely first. Refrigerate it for a couple of hours, then remove and slice. Place individual slices on a serving dish and microwave each slice about 30 seconds or just until warm. If warming in the oven, don't let it get too warm before serving.

My Notes:

A salad spinner drains the tomatoes quickly.  I often use smoked Pepperjack instead of Mozzarella
