If you're lucky enough to have your own tomatoes, this is so tasty with just about any type of grilled meat. My family loves it with beef, steaks,flank steak, chuck roast. emmm
Serves 6
4-med onions, sliced thin
3-TAB butter
5-6 large tomatoes thickly sliced
1-c. grated cheddar cheese
1/2-c. grated monterey jack
1-c-bread crumbs
salt and pepper to taste
1-tea. paprika
2-eggs-beaten
1-c. sour cream or creme fraiche
in skillet saute the onions in butter, but don't brown them. Grease a deep 2 qt. casserole and put in a layer of tomatoes on the bottom. Sprinkle with some cheese then bread crumbs, onions, salt and pepper and paprika. Repeat layering til you've used all ingredients. Just be sure to end with the cheese:LOL: In small bowl beat the eggs and sour cream til smooth, pour over casserole and then sprinkle on a little more salt and paprika to add some color. Cover and bake at a preheated 375f oven for about 30 min. uncover and bake 15 min longer so it will puff and get golden.
enjoy,

Oh I can't wait to try this. The first little tomatoes are just now popping out on all of Paul's plants. We'll have a million before the summer is over.

Thank you!!

You're welcome Pds,
I just came in with about 8 good sized tomatoes from the garden, so I most likely will be making this one night this week. I also want to just slice someand try them with a balckberry balsamic vinegar my daughter gave me yesterday..It tastes great all alone, so imagine it on ripe tomatoes :wub:

It's an easy one urmaniac,And it's nice because as you say, most of the ingredients are right at hand.
I made it with a pepper jack cheese, and it was good, although the cheese is to hot for the kids. Next time I plan to try a pilota cheese I just found at the grocery..Don't know quite how to describe it, but it's smooth in the mouth at first then the flavor kind of bursts through as you chew. It's not strong, but rather an in between mellow..Very good.

Thanks Carole,
I've never made it with canned tomatoes, but I have used the roma or pear shaped tomatoes during the winter...I like the romas for this recipe they get so sweet, and flavorful, when roasted or cooked..

Quick question about the breadcrumbs in this recipe - should they be made from fresh bread, or stale (I have two half loaves of leftover garlic bread from Sunday which I could put in the blender or grate) or, store bought - I have some with Italian seasoning? This may seem like a silly question to you, but I've noticed quite a difference in how they taste depending on how they started out in the recipe......BTW home computer fried - haven't been able to come to DC in the evenings and on week-ends.
