Time 55m

Yield 1 pie, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pie shell, pre-baked
100 g mozzarella cheese
3 -4 tomatoes
4 sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil
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)

Steps:

  • 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:-).
