Baked Tomatoes

Large can whole tomatoes, drained

1/2 cup grated dry cheese such as Parmesan

1 teaspoon dried basil, crumbled

1/2 cup panko or crushed saltines

Freshly ground black pepper

Olive oil

Set the oven to 375 degrees. Put tomatoes in a buttered 8 X 8 casserole. Stir together cheese, basil and panko or saltines and sprinkle evenly over tomatoes. Shower lightly with black pepper. Drizzle with olive oil. Bake about 20 minutes or until tomatoes are bubbly and the top toasty. 

Cook's note: Don't add salt. It's already in canned tomatoes, cheese, panko and crackers. It can always be passed at the table.
