Tortino Tricolore

It 's a colorful savoury cake , with   a fresh Mediterranean taste.In summer  we like serving “caprese”, but in winter it is delicious  to serve  this  warm dish .




Tortino with mozzarella, tomatoes and basil

Ingredients (for a loaf pan by 24x10x7cm)
250g of bread for sandwiches
250 gr. mozzarella, preferably buffalo
300g firm tomatoes
40g of grated grana or parmesan cheese 
12 basil leaves
2 eggs
150ml milk 
Olive oil as much as needed
Salt  3 pinches 
We wash the tomatoes, divide into two parts and, in a bowl, dress them with salt, cheese, oil and  chopped basil leaves. 
In a bowl, beat eggs with milk, dip the slices of bread cut appropriately to coat the bottom and the edge of the pan,previously lined with parchment paper. 

We distribute half of the seasoned tomatoes  into the pan, then place over the well-drained mozzarella,  then cover it with the other tomatoes  and end with a layer ofslices of bread.
Bake at 200 C° for about 40  minutes or until golden brownWhen baked , leave the cake to cool and decorate with basil leaves and tomatoes.
