Then add the starch-milk mixture in the bowl. Place the mixture in a 8 inches round or a rectangular Pyrex. Place the tomato slices evenly on the surface and sprinkle the basil on top.
Preheat the oven to 395-400F (200 C) and bake until the surface color is red, for about 12-15 minutes.
Serve warm. Ricotta pie is good to go at breakfasts.
