Tomato Tian

Tomato Tian

Here’s another wonderful side dish for the holidays. I love making Vegetable Tian and also a Potato Tian but this time I decided to keep it all about the tomatoes. I recently picked up some beautiful yellow tomatoes at the store and decided to make a tian using them along with some Roma tomatoes I already had on hand. I topped the baked tomatoes with shredded Parmesan cheese and Italian flavored panko as well as fresh chopped basil. This dish was easy to make and it tasted delicious.

Tomato Tian:

Ingredients:

  • 4 firm yellow tomatoes
  • 4 firm red tomatoes (I used Roma)
  • Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
  • Drizzle of olive oil
  • Parmesan cheese, shredded
  • Italian flavored panko crumbs
  • Fresh basil, chopped

How to Make a Tomato Tian

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Coat a circular baking dish with cooking spray.

Slice the tomatoes into thick slices then layer them alternately in the baking dish, fitting them into a tight spiral, making only one layer. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste then drizzle them with a bit of olive oil.

Place into the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes.

Remove from the oven and turn the oven to broil. Sprinkle the tomatoes with Parmesan cheese and panko crumbs then place under the broiler, on the middle rack, for 1-2 minutes or until the panko crumbs are golden brown.

Remove from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped basil. Serve immediately. Enjoy.
