INGREDIENTS:

• 1 pastry (1/2 recipe) see recipe
• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard

• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

PREPARATION:

4. Slice the tomatoes and arrange over the mustard in concentric circles, overlapping them slightly. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and the herbs.
   
5. Beat together the eggs and goat cheese. Season with salt and pepper and pour over the tomatoes.
   
6. Drizzle on the olive oil.
   
7. Place in the oven and bake 30 to 40 minutes, until the top is nicely browned.
