- Cook over moderate heat until the tomato mixture thickens. Set aside filler to cool.
- Beat eggs with cream or milk. Add cheese, previously grated on a fine grater and prepared tomato mixture, mix well. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Then you need to collect the cake. Roll out the cooled dough in a thin layer and place it in a mold about 25 cm in diameter. Pierce the base with a fork and place the foil around the edges so that the dough does not shrink during cooking.
