Ingredients

Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Grease a 9 × 9-inch baking dish with some olive oil.
  2. In a frying pan, heat the olive oil (⅓ cup) over medium heat. When hot, add the onion and garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender.
  3. Add the oregano and breadcrumbs. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toast until the breadcrumbs are coated with oil and lightly golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir in the fresh basil and Parmesan cheese. Set aside.
  4. In the prepared baking dish, place a layer of tomato slices and then a layer of the breadcrumb mixture. Repeat until the dish is full, finishing with a layer of breadcrumbs. Top with the mozzarella.
  5. Cover and bake until the tomatoes are heated through, 20 to 25 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until the tomato juices start to bubble and the cheese is melted (about 10 minutes). If desired, increase the heat to broil and cook for a few more minutes until the top is golden brown.
  6. Garnish with more fresh basil and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve warm. Buon appetito!
