Restaurants often offer sliced tomatoes as an alternative to unwanted veggies or carbs. And I always think to myself, “Why can’t they jazz up those tomatoes to make them more restaurant quality?” This recipe for tomatoes with asiago cheese is the answer.

Use the best tomatoes that you can find for this recipe. Straight from the Farmer’s Market is best! Heirloom tomatoes are wonderful. And you can even use those delicious little Campari tomatoes too.
How to make fresh breadcrumbs:
I know you can buy dried breadcrumbs, but fresh breadcrumbs are going to be more delicious. Fresh breadcrumbs can be made from any type of bread. For this recipe, I’d recommend French or sourdough, but if you have plain white bread then that will work too. Process your bread in the food processor to fine crumbs. Spread the processed crumbs in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake at 300ºF for 10 minutes. Stir and bake some more until lightly toasted and dry. Let the breadcrumbs cool on the baking sheet. Then they’re ready to use! You can even make this recipe gluten-free, if needed. Just use gluten-free breadcrumbs!
