SCALLOPED TOMATOES DEE DEE'S WAY



Scalloped Tomatoes Dee Dee's Way image

One of my favorite side dishes is scalloped tomatoes. The original recipe comes from Cecil McMillan's "The Once in a Blue Moon" cookbook that was published in 1979. Cecil also owned the Blue Moon Restaurant in Montgomery, AL (my home town). Back in the day, that is where all the bridal luncheons were booked. After Cecil sold his restaurant I had the pleasure of eating his good food at the bank I worked for. He was hired as the manager of our banks cafeteria, how lucky we were to have him. Over the years I've tweaked this recipe to my liking. Hope you enjoy.

SCALLOPED TOMATOES (BAREFOOT CONTESSA)



Scalloped Tomatoes (Barefoot Contessa) image

FANTASTIC! A great side dish for just about any meal. Save this recipe for when your tomatoes in the garden are ripe and luscious! (or if you have a Farmer's Market, get them from there). First made this in 2009, and have used large cherry tomatoes instead of plum tomatoes and they were great too...good tomatoes for this are a MUST! I have also added about 1/2 cup Gruyere cheese along with the 1 cup of parmesan on the top for a real cheesy treat! Any rustic bread will do, but make sure you cut it in the 1/2 inch dice. Also, use fresh Parmesan cheese, it really makes a difference. It's VERY important to get it into the oven as soon as possible, else it may end up a bit soggy. This is adapted from Barefoot Contessa; Episode Farm Stand Food.

GRANDMA'S BREADED (SCALLOPED) TOMATOES



Grandma's Breaded (Scalloped) Tomatoes image

This is a recipe I grew up eating at my grandparents and at home. I made it for my children off and on as they grew up. A year ago while discussing what we should have for Christmas dinner, my oldest daughter who is now 30 years old requested I make her some Breaded Tomatoes. I was kind of shocked but agreed to make them. My...

Categories     Side Casseroles

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 - 4 slice bread, toasted
2 Tbsp butter or margarine
1/2 c minced onion
1/2 c minced celery
3 medium tomatoes, peeled and cut up(about 2 cups) or one 16 oz. can diced tomatoes
1 Tbsp all purpose flour
1 tsp sugar or sugar substitute
1/2 tsp marjoram or basil

Steps:

  • 1. Lightly butter toasted bread with part of butter. Cut into cubes and put aside. Cook celery and onion in remaining butter for a few minutes until crisp tender. Add fresh or canned tomatoes, if using canned - do not drain! Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer about 8 to 10 minutes.
  • 2. Combine the flour, sugar, marjoram, a few tablespoon water, a pinch of salt and dash of pepper. Stir into tomatoes. Cook and stir for a few minutes until bubbly.
  • 3. In a greased 1-quart casserole alternate tomatoes and toast cubes making toast be the top layer! You can sprinkle some parmesan cheese on if you would like, but is fine without it. Bake in a 350 degree oven for twenty minutes or until bubbly. Enjoy!!
  • 4. You can use cans of Italian stewed tomatoes and omit the celery, onion and marjoram from this recipe. It is easy to double or triple this recipe for large groups.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes. This is essential for ensuring that your scalloped basil tomatoes are packed with flavor. Look for tomatoes that are deep red in color and have a slight give when you gently squeeze them.
  • Use fresh basil. Fresh basil has a much more intense flavor than dried basil, so it's worth using it if you can. If you don't have fresh basil on hand, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried basil instead.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking dish. The tomatoes should be in a single layer in the baking dish, so that they can cook evenly. If you overcrowd the baking dish, the tomatoes will steam instead of roasting.
  • Bake the tomatoes until they are tender and slightly caramelized. This will take about 30 minutes. Keep an eye on the tomatoes so that they don't overcook.
  • Serve the tomatoes warm or at room temperature. Scalloped basil tomatoes are a delicious side dish for grilled chicken, fish, or pasta. They can also be used as a topping for bruschetta or crostini.

Conclusion:

Scalloped basil tomatoes are a simple but delicious dish that's perfect for summer. With just a few ingredients, you can create a side dish that's full of flavor and perfect for any occasion.
