Baked Tomatoes
From Carrie Morey's Hot Little Suppers cookbook
Ingredients
- • 4 cups of chopped tomatoes preferably peeled
- • 4 cloves of garlic
- • 1/4 cup of olive oil

Tomatoes are not in season year around but if you bake with tomatoes then you can use all different kinds of tomatoes and you can even throw in those tomatoes that don't look so good, or the ones that aren't quite ripe. This is the perfect year round recipe. Cut off those bad parts, drain the tomatoes, and make perfect baked tomatoes. I usually serve this dish for brunch with grits and eggs, or as a delicious dinner side. Get cooking, get creative, and enjoy!
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350°F
- Peel and chop tomatoes. Place chopped tomatoes on a baking rack with salt and pepper to get out the most liquid in a short amount of time.
- Coat the bottom of your skillet with olive oil.
- Combine onions, garlic, and tomatoes in skillet and spread into 1 layer.
- Add shredded parmesan cheese over top of mixture.
- Salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour breadcrumbs over mixture into one layer.
- Add pats of butter on top of breadcrumbs.
- Bake in oven for 30 minutes or until top is golden brown.
- Add chopped basil to taste. Serve hot.
