Mediterranean Bread Casserole

Ingredients

• 4 eggs
• 500 ml milk (3.5% fat)
• Salt
• Pepper
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 2 tsp oregano
• 1 tbsp olive oil (for the pan)
• 250 g ciabatta (from yesterday)
• 300 g cherry tomatoes
• 200 g sheep cheese
• 1 handful basil (for garnish)

Instructions

1. 1.

   Whisk the eggs well and pour into a bowl with the milk. Mix in salt, pepper, and oregano. Peel the garlic cloves and squeeze them into the mixture. Grease a baking dish.

2. 2.

   Slice the bread and arrange it like roof tiles in the dish. Pour the egg‑milk mixture over the bread and let it soak for about 30 minutes.

3. 3.

   Wash the tomatoes and halve them. Insert between the bread slices. Sprinkle with crumbled cheese, salt, and pepper. Preheat the oven to 200°C and bake the casserole for about 30 minutes; if the surface darkens too quickly, cover it promptly.

4. 4.

   Remove the casserole from the oven and serve garnished with basil leaves.
