"I love homegrown tomatoes, and while they are in season, this is a yummy side dish. Courtesy of Rachel Ray. Update to recipe: After cooking for minutes, I gently mixed, then cooked for 10-15 minutes longer. Then topped with parmesan and put under broiler to melt cheese and toast. Also recommend lightly toasting the baguette prior to cutting into cubes, then rub with fresh garlic before mixing with tomatoes."

I can't give this recipe any stars because I'm not sure how I feel about it. The flavor was okay, but it never got "done". I followed the recipe EXACTLY but it never got crusty or golden brown. The middle never set either. I will try it again and hopefully it will work out better.

Yum, used a multi-colored assortment of heirloom tomatoes from my garden. Did not pulse ingredients, just sliced the peeled seeded tomatoes over the bread cubes. Sprinkled the salt and sugar over the top. Quick and easy with excellent results. And very pretty. Dumplin, thanks for the post. Janet
