Tomato Gratin

:  July/August 2007

Your rating: None Average: 4.3 (8 votes)

A gratin is any dish topped with cheese or breadcrumbs mixed with butter, then heated until browned—but it needn't be heavy. This one has plenty of garden-fresh tomatoes and herbs, a touch of full-flavored cheese and a crispy crumb topping.


READER'S COMMENT:
"This recipe is easy and tastes great, especially for those cool spring days where you crave tomatoes and basil but still need to wait until the summer to harvest your own!!! "
