FRESH TOMATO BAKE
Good recipe to use up your end-of-the-summer glut of tomatoes. The first time I made this I was skeptical about the amount of bread crumbs, but it worked - the bread crumbs become almost like a sauce from soaking up the tomato juices. I found this recipe in Too Many Tomatoes by Burrows and Myers.

Tips for Baking a Flavorful Tomato Onion Casserole:
- Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes: Look for tomatoes that are deep red and have a firm texture. Avoid tomatoes that are bruised or have blemishes.
- Use a variety of onions: White onions, yellow onions, and shallots all add different flavors to the casserole. Experiment with different combinations to find your favorite.
- Sauté the onions until they are translucent: This will help to bring out their sweetness and caramelize them slightly.
- Add garlic, spices, and herbs: Garlic, oregano, basil, and thyme are classic Italian herbs that pair well with tomatoes and onions.
- Use a combination of cheeses: Mozzarella and Parmesan are the classic choices, but you can also experiment with other cheeses, such as ricotta, feta, or cheddar.
- Top the casserole with breadcrumbs or Panko crumbs: This will give the casserole a crispy, golden-brown crust.
Conclusion:
Baked tomato onion casserole is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's a great way to use up leftover tomatoes and onions, and it's also a budget-friendly meal. With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, this casserole is sure to become a family favorite.
