Cherry Tomatoes Provençal
Cherry tomatoes Provençal is a super simple summer side that pairs juicy tomatoes with a crisp herbe de Provence gratin topping. It's easy, versatile, delicious, and so French countryside!
Servings: 4 servings
Equipment
- round or oval baking dish or gratin dish, I used a 9" round
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pints cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
crumb topping
- 1/2 cup (heaped) panko bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp herbes de Provence
- 1/2 tsp coarse salt
- freshly cracked black pepper to taste
- 2 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted Note: if you use salted butter you will want to adjust the added salt in the recipe.
- 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F
- Put the ingredients for the crumb topping in a small bowl and toss together until well combined. You can give it a taste to see if it needs more herbs or cheese, etc.
- Toss the tomato halves with oil and vinegar.
- Arrange your cherry tomato halves, cut side up, in a round or oval gratin dish. There's no need to grease the pan. You want to completely cover the bottom of the pan so you can no longer see it, so this will be about a layer and a half of tomatoes. Don't stack the tomatoes more than this. If you have any super small tomatoes they can go in whole.
- Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the tomatoes.
- Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the crumbs are golden and the tomatoes are starting to bubble.
- Serve cherry tomatoes Provençal immediately, topped with more cheese.
Notes
If you like you can drizzle the top with a little more olive oil or dot with butter before baking.
