TOMATOES*****Cherry Tomato Gratin

By Unblond1

I always enjoy this - either as a side dish or a simple lunch (or even dinner) which somehow manages to feel indulgent to me.

Ingredients

• 12 - 16 cherry tomatoes, depending on size (mixed colours are nice)
• fresh herbs of choice - basil, thyme, etc.
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• drizzle of balsamic vinegar (Optional)
• pinch of red pepper flakes
• freshly ground pepper and Maldon salt to taste
• 1/4 cup panko
• 1 tablespoon freshly grated parmigiano reggiano or pecorino romano
• minced or grated garlic (Optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat Breville oven to 400.

Toss together tomatoes, herbs, balsamic, if using, and seasonings with 1 teaspoon of olive oil and spoon into individual gratin dish.

Separately combine panko with cheese and optional garlic and spread evenly over tomatoes.

Bake for 25-30 minutes until bubbly and golden brown, covering lightly with foil near the end if the crumbs are getting too brown.

Remove from oven and let rest for 5-10 minutes (it's hot, hot, hot) then serve.
