Tomato Gratin
A tomato gratin makes a great side dish and is a good and delicious way to use up extra summer tomatoes.
Serves 4
Ingredients
- Extra virgin olive oil
- 4 cups 1-inch diced ciabatta bread cubes
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 5 cups cut cherry tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- Grinding black pepper
- 1 cup diced or grated Asiago cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped basil
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a stovetop to oven casserole dish and brown the bread cubes in batches; transfer them to a bowl; add more oil as needed to brown the remaining bread cubes.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in the same pan and cook the garlic until golden; stir in the tomatoes, salt, sugar and pepper and cook until the tomatoes exude their juices. Return the bread cubes to the pan and press them down into the tomatoes. Sprinkle the cheese on top and bake until set and nicely browned about 20 to 30 minutes.

I love the pan she used to make this dish.l, which is amazing. However I can’t find that casserole pan anywhere. What brand is that casserole pan?

Terry – I’m pretty sure it is a Le Creuset Signature Enameled Cast Iron Braiser. In some scenes, you can see that it has a lid too. It’s behind her on the counter next to the stove top.

I think I have seen this pattern on QVC or HSN. It appears ceramic (the rectangular casserole with green spring decoration).
