- 4 Tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup finely diced onion
- 1 cup soft bread crumbs
- 3 Tablespoons Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 4 medium tomatoes (or 2 large), thinly sliced
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine butter and onions; microwave on high for 2 minutes.
To the butter mixture, add soft bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, dried basil, salt and pepper, garlic powder and sugar. Stir.
Spray a 1-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Layer 1/3 tomato slices, top with 1/3 bread crumb mixture. Repeat until you have three layers, ending with bread crumbs.
Cover and press on a piece of wax paper over the tomato casserole. Leave wax paper on while cooking.
Cook in the microwave on high for 4-8 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
Let set for 3-5 minutes before serving.
- This is a scalloped fresh tomato recipe, not canned.
- Use margarine for butter, if desired.
- This is a great way to use up leftover bread or buns. Tear the leftover buns into pieces and use as soft bread crumbs. Use approximately 2 slices of bread or one whole hamburger bun.
- I used grated Parmesan but shredded Parmesan would work too.
- Be sure to let the scalloped tomatoes with bread crumbs stand for several minutes before serving. This will help the juices stay in the casserole.
