Green Tomato And Sweet Onion Gratin

1. 1

   Start by cooking the bacon in a large non-stick skillet until crispy. Remove from the pan onto paper towels. Remove all but a tablespoon of the rendered bacon drippings from the pan.

2. 2

   While the bacon is cooking, slice the onions into 1/4 in slices, like you would for onion rings, but don't separate the rings. Slice the tomatoes into 1/4 slices as well.

3. 3

   Preheat oven to 350.

4. 4

   When the bacon is done, place the onion slices into the skillet with the reserved drippings. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown, then flip and cook the other side of the slices as well.

5. 5

   When the onions are nicely cooked, begin arranging the tomato and onion slices in a 9x13 baking dish. Line the tomatoes and onions into overlapping rows.

6. 6

   Season with salt and pepper.

7. 7

   Sprinkle the grated cheese over the tomatoes and onions.

8. 8

   Crumble the bacon over the cheese. In a small bowl, mix the bread crumbs and olive oil together, then spread evenly over the cheese.

9. 9

   Place in the oven for 35-45 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and everything is nice and bubbly.
