Love tomatoes! This sounds different and delicious! I wonder if I should remove the seeds from the fresh tomatoes, they contain a lot of juice.

Do you think the mayonnaise and lemon juice mixture acts as a binder. This sounds delicious THX for posting. :)

I know someone who had tasted this pie, filling was not overly firm but quite delcious. Does not resemble a quiche either.
