Baked Breaded Tomatoes or "Pizza Casserole"
Submitted by: Karen Byrd

*Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

*Combine the following in a large bowl and toss vigorously to coat the breadcrumbs evenly.
5 slices whole wheat sandwich bread, set out onto a rack overnight to get good and DRY, then broken into peices about the size of croutons (I used Arnold Health Nut brand)
2 Tbsp. grated parmesan cheese (I beg you to use fresh grated - buy the triangle of parmesan and grate it - it's worth the effort)
1 Tbsp. olive oil
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh flat leaf or curly parsley
1 Tbsp. chopped fresh oregano or 1 1/2 tsp. dried oregano

*In a large non-stick pan combine the following:
12 Roma (plum) -OR- 7 or 8 of the tomatoes we just got from Barbee, sliced into wedges
4 green onions, thinly sliced, including green portions
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
1 tsp. sugar

*Sauté 8-10 minutes until the tomatoes soften slightly and exude some juice.
*Pour tomato mixture into bowl with bread crumbs, etc. Toss slightly and turn in to a glass or ceramic baking dish (8" diameter approx.) Sprinkle with about one more Tbsp. parmesan.
*Bake, uncovered, about 20 minutes, cool 5 minutes before serving.
