Scalloped Tomatoes

Juicy baked tomatoes meet crispy bread cubes in this rustic, comforting side dish. Tossed with Borsari Olive Oil, garlic, and a sprinkle of Borsari Savory Seasoning, this golden, bubbly tomato bake pairs perfectly with grilled meats, pasta, or a fresh green salad.

Ingredients

• 2 lbs ripe tomatoes, chopped
• 3 cups bread cubes (day-old bread works best)
• 3 tbsp Borsari Olive Oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp Borsari Savory Seasoning (or Original Seasoning)
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Fresh basil, for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. In a skillet, warm Borsari Olive Oil over medium heat and sauté garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
3. Add bread cubes and toss until lightly toasted.
4. In a baking dish, combine tomatoes, toasted bread cubes, and Borsari Seasoning; mix gently.
5. Top with Parmesan.
6. Bake uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes, until golden and bubbly.
7. Garnish with fresh basil and serve warm.

Pro Tips 

• Use a mix of cherry and heirloom tomatoes for layered flavor and color.
• If bread isn’t stale, toast cubes on a sheet pan for 5 to 7 minutes first.
• Finish with a drizzle of balsamic glaze or extra olive oil right before serving.
