Directions
Egg and Tomato Gratin, A wonderful, comforting recipe from Jacques Pepin , Eggs, cheese and tomatoes count as comfort food to me! This was outstandingly tasty! I sure loved the thyme leaves in this used a can of organic fire-roasted tomatoes, less olive oil, more thyme, a tad less cheese, and it was Emmenthal instead of Gruyere Emmenthal has a mild but distinctively Swiss Cheesey taste This is comfort food, but I would only treat myself to this on occasion because it’s high in cholesterol Too bad cause it tastes sooo good! I served it with an orzo side Thanks Chef Kate!
