Hi, I'm Andie.

I live near the Swiss Alps, in Bern, and I love not only melting cheese, but all kinds of Swiss cooking. 

En Guetä!

Tomatenwähe

Tomatenwähe

Bright, juicy cherry tomatoes are the star of this easy Wähe.

There are plenty of possible variations—add a little bacon, boursin or goat’s cheese, some freshly chopped herbs, or a handful of grated cheese before baking, or top with arugula and a drizzle of crema balsamico once it’s out of the oven.

Dough:

200 g flour

pinch of salt

80 g butter, cold

125 ml water, cold

Filling:

around 800 g cherry tomatoes

3 tbsp breadcrumbs

300 ml milk or cream (or a mix of both)

3 eggs

salt and pepper


For the dough:

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.

Add the cold butter in pieces and rub into the flour mixture with your fingers until you have small flakes.

Make a well in the middle of the flour and add the water. Mix this gently until a dough forms. Try not to overwork the dough or it will become tough.

Press the dough into a disc, wrap with plastic, and let cool in the fridge for about an hour.

Roll out your dough and line a 26 cm (10 inch) round tart pan. Keep the tart shell cool (preferably in the freezer) until you have the filling ready. 

When you are ready to bake:

Preheat oven to 200 C / 400 F / gas mark 6, bottom heat.

Whisk together the milk or cream, eggs, salt and pepper.

Place your tart pan on a parchment-lined baking sheet, sprinkle with breadcrumbs, then arrange the tomatoes in rows on top. Pour in the liquid.

Bake in the bottom half of the oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until the liquid has set and the tomato juices are bubbling.


  • It’s easiest to use cherry tomatoes for this dish. Regular tomatoes are really juicy and can make things soggy.
