Ingredients

    1/2 cup dried green/brown lentils
    1/2 tsp savory
    1 tbsp vegetable oil
    1 medium onion, chopped
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    1 tbsp lemon juice
    freshly ground pepper
    3 eggs
    1 cup milk (I use soy milk but could use skim milk)
    1/4 tsp salt
    1 tsp dried basil
    1 tsp dried oregano
    1/2 cup spelt flour
    1/2 tsp baking powder
    1 cup cheddar cheese grated
    2 tomatoes, thinly sliced
    2 tbsp freshly grated parmesan cheese

Directions

Rinse lentils. Place in medium saucepan with 2 cups (500 mL) water and savory. Simmer, covered for 25 minutes. Drain.

In skillet, saute onions and garlic in oil over medium heat for 5 minutes or until tender. Remove from heat and add lemon juice and black pepper to taste.

In large bowl, beat together eggs, milk, salt and herbs. Stir in flour and grated cheese, but don't overmix.

Combine lentils with cooked onion mixture. Stir into batter. Pour into 9" greased metal pie, cake or flan pan (at least 1.25" / 3.25 cm high). NOTE: must be a metal pan.

Top with tomato slices, then sprinkle with parmesan cheese.

Bake 25 to 30 minutes at 425 F (220 C) or until centre is firm when pressed.
