Add the crumbled thyme , salt and pepper.
In a mixing bowl , whisk together the eggs and the cream.

Follow by spreading the onions over the cheese.

Distribute as evenly as possible.
Pour in the egg / cream mixture.
Lay the tomato slices on top.
Salt and pepper again , if desired.
Bake for approximately 35 minutes , or until filling has set and cooked all the way through to the center , and is nicely browned.
