Dice tomatoes, onion and the garlic. In a fry-pan, cook onion and garlic in olive oil. When the onion is tender, add the tomatoes. Add a tea-spoon of sugar (To remove acidity of tomatoes), salt and pepper. At the end, when it's like a "Compote", turn off the burner and add the fresh basil. Divide some mixture on 4 slices of brioche. Put some slices of mozzarella on and add a second level of brioche, tomatoes and mozzarella. Bake it in oven about 10 minutes. Bon appétit! Tricks: - When you cook the tomatoes, if you think that you haven't enough mixture, you can add some tomato coulis. - If you still have some mixture of milk and eggs and some slices of brioche you can make a dessert: Just add some vanilla sugar to the mixture, cook the slices then put them in a plate and add some sugar on it... Miam!
