During this bountiful season of the tomato harvest, there’s a certain classification of recipes I turn to. No sauces, no stews, nothing that uses cooked tomatoes or anything I can make in January with my frozen tomato booty. Celebrate the final summer hurrah by savoring the fresh and relish those special recipes that can only made this time of year.

This Tomato Crouton Casserole fits that bill nicely — and can readily be a side dish or we even serve it with breakfast at our B&B. Recipe after the jump:

  1. Thanks for the happy tomato comments. You could definitely use cherry tomatoes — they key is just to heartily cover the bottom of the 9×13 pan. That said, I’ve found this recipes tastes best right out of the oven, so I’ll often cut it roughly in half for an 8×8 pan if it is just my husband and I eating . .. .

    Happy Harvest,
    Lisa
