I recently was watching one of my favorite shows on Food Network, The Kitchen, when I came across this fantastic recipe – Heirloom Tomato and Pecorino Gratin. It’s so easy to make and absolutely delicious. It also has just a few ingredients!
This Heirloom Tomato and Pecorino Gratin makes for a wonderful side dish. I even brought the recipe into work the next day to share with my coworkers who love to cook because I loved it so much.
Serves 4
INGREDIENTS
- 2 large heirloom tomatoes, cut into 1/4 inch think slices
- Salt & Pepper
- 3 tbsp EVOO
- 6 fresh basil leaves torn or chiffonade cut
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup Italian breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Lay the tomato slices flat and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with 1 1/2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Arrange the tomatoes in a 10-inch oval baking pan. Sprinkle the basil pieces on top.
Combine the cheese, breadcrumbs and thyme in a small bowl. Sprinkle the tomatoes with this mixture and drizzle the entire mixture with the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil. Bake the gratin until the top is golden brown, about 15 minutes. Serve.
