This is a tangy side dish ... if you want it less tangy add a bit more sugar. I like more bread in mine and only make two layers but the original recipe calls for 3. Recipe Source: American Profile Ingredients:
4 -6 slices thickly sliced french bread, slices torn into small pieces (about 2-3 cups) |
4 medium green tomatoes, cut into 1/4-inch slices (about 1 1/2 pounds total) |
1 teaspoon sugar |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon black pepper |
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese |
1 tablespoon butter |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°F Lightly grease a 11/2-quart casserole, deep-dish pie pan, or 4 ramekins.
2. Place bread in a food processor and pulse to a coarse texture. Combine sugar, salt and pepper in a small bowl; mix well.
3. Arrange one-third of the tomato slices in the bottom of pan. Sprinkle one-third of the sugar mixture, one-third of the bread crumbs, and 1/3 cup Cheddar over tomatoes. Repeat with a second layer. For third layer, add remaining tomatoes, sugar mixture and bread crumbs. Dot with butter. Cover with foil.
4. Bake1 hour. Uncover and sprinkle remaining 1/3 cup Cheddar on top. Bake 5 minutes longer, or until cheese melts. Remove from oven and let stand 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to blend.
