    To make the tomatoes, slice the tomatoes into 1/4” thick slices. Mix the milk and eggs together in medium bowl and add salt and pepper.

    To make the cream sauce, heat the oil and butter in a heavy saucepan until melted. Sauté the onions, pepper, and garlic until tender. Add the vegetable stock, bring to boil and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the flour until the sauce thickens. Add the cream, return to a boil, and cook another 2-3 minutes.
