Ingredients

  • 6 ounce day-old white bread, torn into small pieces (4 cups)

  • ½ cup olive oil

  • 1 cup whole pecans, walnuts, and/or almonds, coarsely chopped

  • 4 large or 5 medium tomatoes

  • 1 cup chopped fresh mushrooms

  • 2 tablespoon fresh thyme, marjoram, or oregano leaves

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

  • Salt and pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss bread with 4 Tbsp. of the olive oil and spread on a rimmed baking sheet with the nuts. Bake 5 to 7 minutes or until bread is crisp and golden and nuts are toasted.

  2. Halve the tomatoes. Remove and discard seeds. Scoop out flesh from tomato halves, coarsely chopping any large pieces, and place in a medium bowl. Add toasted bread and nuts, mushrooms, thyme, garlic, 1 tsp. kosher salt, 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper, and remaining 4 Tbsp. olive oil; toss. Spoon bread mixture into tomato halves. Place on baking sheet.

  3. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until tops are browned and tomatoes just start to collapse. If you like, top with additional thyme. Serve immediately. Serves 4.
