CHERRY TOMATO CRISP

Ingredients
1 pound (about 4 cups) cherry tomatoes
2 slices white sandwich bread
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons fresh parsley leaves
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove garlic, chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a food processor, combine bread, Parmesan cheese, parsley leaves, olive oil, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Pulse until bread is very coarsely chopped, 4 to 6 times. Drizzle an 8-inch square baking dish with olive oil, or spray with non-stick cooking spray. Arrange cherry tomatoes in a single layer and sprinkle with the bread crumb mixture. Bake until crust is browned and tomatoes are tender, 20 to 25 minutes.

Let's Dish
I saw this recipe in my Everyday Food: Great Food Fast cookbook and couldn't wait for my garden to produce enough cherry tomatoes to make it.  (I use the term garden loosely).  It's quick, easy and really delicious!  In fact, I plan to plant more cherry tomatoes next year so I can make it more often.  I find it helps to cut the larger tomatoes in half, so everything cooks evenly.  If your tops gets brown before the tomatoes are done, just cover it with some foil and cook it a few minutes longer.  This dish is a perfect compliment to almost any meal.  I've even been known to eat it on it's own for lunch.

This sounds both interesting and delicious. I bet the texture was really nice. I have lots of cherry tomatoes this year, and I am desperate for new things to do with them. This looks like a great thing to try. Thanks!

So many great recipes this week (visiting from Tasty Tuesdays)! I have bookmarked this as I am going to have to try it. Still another month before I am allowed to plant my tomatoes, but I can see this being a regular dish at our summer table :)

Love the name of this dish! I have made this with fresh tomato chunks, and called it something else, not a cute name like yours Lol. Thanks for sharing.

My family grew and sold tomatoes when I was a little girl, so needless to say we had them on the table every meal. I hated them then.

I still don't eat them often, but I love sweet cherry tomatoes and any cooked tomato recipe. This recipe looks great, so I'll copy the recipe and try it someday.
