Can you freeze a tomato pie?
Can I freeze a tomato pie? If so, is it better to do this before or after I bake it?
Best Answer
It's probably better to freeze it before baking. When baking the pie some of the ingredients release their flavors, and those can be lost during the freeze. For that reason - the pie would probably preserve more taste if frozen unbaked (But will take more time to be ready for eating after removing from freezer)
