There is nothing better in the summer than a good sliced tomato sprinkled with salt and pepper. But, that window of opportunity to have those mouth-watering slices is so short. During the winter I crave those tomatoes as I’m sure you also do. There are a couple of recipes that I pull out of my back pocket to satisfy the tomato craving and this is one of them. I have gone through my cookbook collection marking recipes with post it notes that I want to try. If I cooked something new everyday for the rest of my life I am pretty sure that I would not get to all of the ones on my list, but thank goodness I tried this one. When I read Paula’s headline that a catering friend of hers used this recipe all the time in Savannah, Georgia I knew it had to be a winner. I was right! It is easy, good, pretty on a platter and it makes a winter tomato taste as good as the summer!

Sky-High Brunch Bake
Talk about a show stopper this Sky-High Brunch Bake is one that will stop you in your tracks! I could not resist making it when I saw the picture in Food and Family by Kraft. It is beautiful to look at and it is quite tasty. I am keeping this bookmarked to use during the holiday season for a brunch because the green spinach and red peppers are so colorful! Don’t let the beautiful picture intimidate you because it is super simple to make if you can get past rolling out the pastry dough. Just follow the thawing directions on the box. You can thaw it overnight in the refrigerator or leave it out for about 45 minutes ahead of time. I like to thaw it out in the refrigerator. If you let it get too warm just put it back in the refrigerator for a few minutes. The pastry dough is very forgiving. The rest of the recipe is a cinch to make. Trust me by saying the novice cook can pull this off without a hitch and come out smelling like a rose!
