Ingredients
-
1 pie shell, pre-baked
-
100 g mozzarella cheese
-
3 -4 tomatoes
-
1 tablespoon mustard
-
1 tablespoon semolina or 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
-
3 tablespoons pine nuts
-
3 eggs
-
250 ml half-and-half cream
-
1 clove garlic
-
50 -100 ml chopped fresh basil
-
salt (to taste, I use 1 teaspoon)
-
black pepper (to taste)
-
4 sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200 C.
- Slice mozzarella and tomatoes.
- Chop sun-dried tomatoes.
- Spread mustard on the bottom of the pie shell and sprinkle the flour on top.
- Layer the fresh tomatoes on the shell and sprinkle the sun-dried tomatoes and pine nuts on top of the tomato slices.
- Arrange mozzarella slices on top of everything.
- Peel and finely chop the garlic clove.
- Whisk together eggs and half-and-half.
- Add the chopped garlic, chopped basil and seasonings to the egg mixture and whisk to combine.
- Pour the egg mixture into the pie shell.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 40 minutes.
- For a more Greek touch, try using feta cheese instead of mozzarella and add a few sliced olives to the pie (and remember you'll need less salt in a feta pie:-).
