The photo above that looks like a Jackson Pollock is really the Scalloped Tomatoes that I made for Laura’s Mother’s Day dinner. They are really easy to make and always turn out great. We had them with steak. A couple of notes. You do want to use fresh bread crumbs here. I take two slices of white bread, remove the crusts, and buzz them along with a garlic clove in the food processor. Do not over-process, you what crumbs the size of peas.
