Serves 8Ingredients
- 2 cups grated Gruyere cheese
- 1/2 stick butter (cut into small cubes)
- 1/2 t. salt
- Dash white pepper
- 1 1/2 t. dry mustard
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 12 eggs beaten
- Bread crumbs - made from any old bread or rolls
- Olive oil - small amount
- 8 1/4" Tomato slices
- Parsley (as a garnish)
Directions
7 X 11 baking dish
Preheat oven to 350°.
Spread the cheese evenly over the bottom of dish. Distribute the butter over the cheese. Mix the seasoning and cream and drizzle ½ of this mixture over the cheese. Pour the eggs into the baking dish and then drizzle the remaining cream/seasoning mixture into the dish. Bake until a knife comes-out clean (approximately 45 minutes). Do not over cook. Protect the top from over-browning by placing foil on top.
Add a small amount of olive oil to your bread crumbs (just to moisten). Add one tablespoon of bread crumbs to each tomato slice. Place slices onto a sprayed baking sheet and broil until toasted. Top each portion with a tomato slice. Garnish with parsley.
