1. Preheat oven to 190°C. Lightly dust a flat baking sheet with flour.

4. Roll out the pastry into a 12 inches square tin. Place on the prepared tin. Place one half of the filling down the centre of the pastry leaving about 4 inches either side. Cover with the sliced eggs.

5. Place remaining filling on top and cover with sliced tomatoes.

7. Glaze with beaten egg or milk and bake for 30 to 40 minutes until golden brown.
