Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized ripe tomatoes
- 200 grams deli-style ham
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with the unsalted butter.
Slice the tomatoes into thin rounds, about 1/4 inch thick, and set aside.
Chop the ham into small bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, and all-purpose flour until smooth.
Add salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and dried basil to the egg mixture. Mix well to combine.
Spread an even layer of sliced tomatoes across the bottom of the prepared casserole dish.
Scatter a layer of chopped ham over the tomatoes, followed by an even sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.
Add another layer of tomatoes, followed by a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layers, ensuring it seeps into the casserole.
Top with any remaining cheese if desired for a bubbling, golden finish.
Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set in the middle.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into portions.
Serve warm, optionally garnished with fresh herbs or a crisp side salad.
