Ingredients

• 4 large ripe tomatoes
• 6 slices thick-cut bacon
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch casserole dish.

Step 2

Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Place the cooked bacon on a paper towel-lined plate to drain, then crumble it into bite-sized pieces once cooled.

Step 3

Slice the tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick slices and set aside.

Step 4

In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. In a mixing bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, melted butter, grated parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Stir until evenly mixed. Set aside.

Step 5

Arrange half of the tomato slices in a single layer at the bottom of the casserole dish. Sprinkle half of the crumbled bacon on top of the tomatoes, followed by half of the shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 6

Repeat the layers with the remaining tomatoes, bacon, and cheddar cheese.

Step 7

Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly across the top of the casserole to create a golden, crispy topping.

Step 8

Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.

Step 9

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Garnish with additional fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm as a main dish or side.
