Method
Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 180C (350F). Lightly grease a 20cm (8 inch) pie dish with the olive oil.
Step 2.
In a large bowl, using a whisk or an electric handmixer, combine the ricotta, feta, parmesan, eggs, garlic and sliced basil. Season with a pinch of salt and plenty of freshly ground black pepper.
Step 3.
Spoon the ricotta mixture into the pie dish. Arrange the red and yellow tomatoes, cut side up, with the heirloom tomato and kumato slices on top of the ricotta mixture.
Step 4.
Bake for 60 minutes or until set and golden. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool. Once cooled, transfer to the fridge for around 30 minutes just to firm up. Top the torte with extra basil leaves. Serve with mixed salad leaves.
