Tomatoes

Place the tomatoes in a bowl. Add the oil, season and mix. Spread half of the tomatoes on a baking tray lined with baking paper.

To roast

Approx. 30 mins. in the centre of an oven preheated to 180°C. Remove the tomatoes, allow to cool slightly and add to the remaining tomatoes in the bowl, mix.

Basil dressing

Puree the basil, pine nuts, balsamic and oil until smooth, season.

Mozzarella cream

Place the mozzarella in a bowl, add the crème fraîche, lemon zest and chilli flakes, mix and season.

Bread

Whisk the eggs, milk and parmesan in a wide dish, season. Place the slices of bread in the dish, leave to soak for approx. 10 mins. Turn the bread and leave to soak for a further 10 mins.

Pain perdu

Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan. Reduce the heat, fry the bread in batches for approx. 2 mins. on each side until golden brown. Plate up the mozzarella cream and basil dressing, top with the pain perdu and tomatoes. Garnish with basil and pine nuts.

Good to know
Note: This dish is perfect as a starter or light main. Use double the quantities to satisfy larger appetites.
Tip: If there is some egg-parmesan-mixture remaining in the dish after the bread has been soaked, spread this over the bread with a spoon before frying.
