Tomato and Bread Gratin
CSA Box-Parsley, Tomatoes, garlic
Thank you, Jaques Pepin, for a simple, delicious recipe.
1 ¼ lb Cherry tomatoes -- 3+ 1/2 Cups, we used "Jelly Beans" from our garden and "Sungold" from the CSA box
3 oz Day old bread , preferably from a French baguette, cut into 1 inch cubes
6 Cloves garlic -- peeled and thinly sliced
½ c. Parsley -- coarsely chopped
½ tsp. Black pepper -- freshly ground
2 Tb. Extra virgin olive oil
½ tsp. Salt
¼ c. Grated Parmesan cheese
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Wash the tomatoes and remove and discard any stems. Place the tomatoes in a bowl and mix in the remainder of the ingredients. Transfer the mixture to a 6-cup gratin dish. Bake at 375 degress for 40 minutes. Serve immediately.

How was it? Kind of sounds like brushetta in a pan
my box had cherry tomatoes in it today. I think I'll make this tonight. It looks sooo good. Thanks, Coral (and Jaques)
It was excellent! Roasted tomatoes are the best...
I saw an episode of Fast Food Jacques' Way (or whatever it's really called) where he made essentially this dish but it wasn't baked. He called it Tomato Tartare. Instead of parsely he used tarragon and it had mild onion - Jacques recommended Vidalia or Voila Voila (took me a minute to get it: Walla Walla). The dressing was the juice from the tomato with a little olive oil, salt & pepper.
As he was dicing the tomato or onion he noted that you cut yourself much less often with a sharp knife... and when you do cut yourself, it's a clean cut that heals quickly. Good advice.
