Tian? What on earth is a tian? WELL it is french. (that makes it much more attractive already right?) First, it is the dish/pan that the french used to cook and serve from and it is also the dish prepared in it. Usually its a vegetable type dish, there can be any form of squash, eggplants, onion and my version- a sweet potato tian. With such great vegetables, and a creamy custard, it filling and satisfying just as the entree itself.
Take your veggies and slice them all equally thin, except for the sweet potato, I like to slice that a little bit thinner to ensure that it cooks thoroughly.
Pour the custard over, and bake. It reminded me a lot of this Farmers Casserole recipe that is also on the blog. It would make a great healthy breakfast!

Hello,
How many servings would this make? I'm thinking of doubling the recipe and dividing it between 2 square pans.
Thanks,
