Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large ripe tomatoes
- 6 slices thick-cut bacon
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch casserole dish.
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Place the cooked bacon on a paper towel-lined plate to drain, then crumble it into bite-sized pieces once cooled.
Slice the tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick slices and set aside.
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. In a mixing bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, melted butter, grated parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Stir until evenly mixed. Set aside.
Arrange half of the tomato slices in a single layer at the bottom of the casserole dish. Sprinkle half of the crumbled bacon on top of the tomatoes, followed by half of the shredded cheddar cheese.
Repeat the layers with the remaining tomatoes, bacon, and cheddar cheese.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly across the top of the casserole to create a golden, crispy topping.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with additional fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm as a main dish or side.
