Had a bumper crop of beautiful tomatoes and had a craving for breaded tomatoes like my mother used to make. But I wanted to put a sophisticated spin on it so borrowed a concept from French onion soup. Tastes best with garden fresh tomatoes (of course), but a good canned variety will work as well.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Toast bread on a cookie sheet until it is light brown. Remove from oven and set aside. May butter bread lightly before toasting, if desired.
- Saute onion and garlic in olive oil (or melted butter) in a large skillet until translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- Peel and core tomatoes. (Can also seed the tomatoes if you wish.) Chop into large pieces and add to skillet. Cook until tomatoes are soft.
- Pour tomato mixture into four 8-ounce oven-safe ramekins. (Pyrex works well.) Place toasted bread slice on top of each ramekin and add cheese.
- Bake until the tomatoes are heated through and the cheese is melted and has a few light brown spots, about 20 minutes. Serve hot.
