Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Green tomatoes
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1.5 cups Cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the green tomatoes into 1/4-inch-thick rounds and set them aside.
Finely dice the yellow onion and mince the garlic.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Layer half of the green tomato slices in the bottom of the casserole dish. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Spread half of the cooked onion and garlic mixture on top of the tomatoes.
Sprinkle 3/4 cup of cheddar cheese evenly over the onion layer.
Repeat with the remaining tomato slices, onion mixture, and another 3/4 cup of cheddar cheese.
In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, melted butter, and chopped fresh parsley. Mix well until evenly coated.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top layer of cheese in the casserole.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Uncover the dish and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra fresh parsley, if desired.
