   Line a shallow casserole dish or an 8-inch pie plate with the puff pastry, pressing it firmly into the base and up the sides.

   Whisk together the milk and eggs until fully combined, then season with salt and pepper. Scatter a thin layer of Swiss cheese across the pastry base, then distribute the crumbled bacon evenly on top. Pour in the egg mixture and finish with the remaining Swiss cheese. Lay the tomato slices over the surface.

   Place in the oven and bake for 20 minutes, then lower the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for a further 30 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.
