Savory Spinach and Tomato Gratin

Indulge in this savory spinach and tomato gratin, a delightful blend of vibrant tomatoes and fresh spinach, topped with a golden, crispy Parmesan breadcrumb crust. This dish is not only a feast for the eyes but also a wholesome vegetarian option that can serve as a stunning side or a satisfying main course.

Serves 6

Ingredients

Olive oil
2 tablespoons
Garlic
3 cloves, minced
Fresh spinach
8 cups, washed and chopped
Salt
to taste
Black pepper
to taste
Tomatoes
4 cups, sliced (about 4-5 medium tomatoes)
Parmesan cheese
1 cup, grated
Breadcrumbs
1/2 cup

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
  3. Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until wilted. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. In a greased baking dish, layer the sliced tomatoes evenly at the bottom.
  5. Spread the wilted spinach mixture over the tomatoes, ensuring even coverage.
  6. In a separate bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese until well combined.
  7. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture generously over the top of the spinach and tomatoes.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving hot.
