Baked Green Tomato Casserole

• 4 -6 slices thickly sliced French bread, slices torn into small pieces (about 2-3 cups)
• 4 medium green tomatoes, cut into 1/4-inch slices (about 1 1/2 pounds total)
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon butter

1. Preheat oven to 400u0b0F Lightly grease a 11/2-quart casserole, deep-dish pie pan, or 4 ramekins.
2. Place bread in a food processor and pulse to a coarse texture. Combine sugar, salt and pepper in a small bowl; mix well.
3. Arrange one-third of the tomato slices in the bottom of pan. Sprinkle one-third of the sugar mixture, one-third of the bread crumbs, and 1/3 cup Cheddar over tomatoes. Repeat with a second layer. For third layer, add remaining tomatoes, sugar mixture and bread crumbs. Dot with butter. Cover with foil.
4. Bake1 hour. Uncover and sprinkle remaining 1/3 cup Cheddar on top. Bake 5 minutes longer, or until cheese melts. Remove from oven and let stand 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to blend.
