Scalloped Tomatoes

By Scout0421

Ingredients

• Olive oil
• 2-3 cups cubed french bread (about 1/2 inch cubes)
• 2 1/2 lbs chopped tomatoes, seeds and pulp removed from about half
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 2 tsp kosher salt
• 1 tsp fresh ground pepper
• 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, julienned
• 1 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350.

Heat 2 Tablespoons of the olive oil in a large skillet set over medium heat. Add the bread cubes, and toast, stirring often, until evenly browned, about 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, chop the tomatoes and add them to a large bowl. Combine with the garlic, sugar, salt, and pepper, and mix well.

Add the tomato mixture to the bread, and cook an additional 5 minutes, stirring often.

Pour into a 9x13 inch baking dish, and top with the Parmesan cheese. Bake 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a crust has formed.
