Ingredients
1 tbsp butter6 oz (about 6 slices) multi grain bread, toasted4 cups (4-5 medium) fresh tomatoes, peeled and crushed1 to 1-1/2 tsp basil or to taste
1. Use a small amount of the butter to lightly butter a 1-1/2 or 2 quart casserole dish.
2. Scald or steam tomatoes until skin wrinkles and splits. Cool in ice water until cool enough to handle.
3. While tomatoes are scalding and cooling, toast bread until dark brown but not burnt. Butter while hot and tear into one-inch pieces into caserole.
4. Peel and core tomatoes and crush over bread chunks in casserole. I do thils all by hand, no knife needed.
5. Sprinkle basil over top.
6. Stir to combine.
7. Microwave on high 3-5 minutes at full (100%) power or bake 20-30 minutes at 350 until heated through and bubbling.
*It's fun to play with the flavor and texture of this dish. Rye and pumpernickle make it more savory. Honey oat bread really enhances the sweetness of the fresh tomatoes. A multi-grain bread with lots of seeds gives it more textural interest.
