Mozzarella Tomato Bake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. Spread 2 tablespoons butter over both sides of bread. Place on a baking sheet; bake for about 3 minutes on each side or until lightly toasted. Cut into 1-in. cubes. Reduce heat to 350°., In a large skillet, saute green pepper, onion and garlic in remaining butter until tender. In a large bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Stir in bread cubes, vegetable mixture, bacon, sugar, salt, oregano and pepper. , Transfer to a greased 11x7-in. baking dish. Cut each tomato into four thick slices; arrange over the top. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake, uncovered, for 30-35 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Steps:

• 1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add potatoes and parboil for 5 minutes. Strain. (Note: these should be a little underdone so that they won't get too mushy when you bake them in the oven.)
• 2. In a large casserole dish, layer potato, tomato, and mozzarella. You will only have one layer but overlap these so that the mozzarella melts over the potato and tomato. Sprinkle with Romano cheese, garlic, salt and pepper. Drizzle lightly with extra virgin olive oil.
• 3. Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for 20-25 minutes or until cheese is melted and slightly golden. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Heat the oil in large pan, add the garlic and fry for 1 min. Add the tomatoes, chilli and seasoning, bring to the boil and simmer for 10 mins.
• Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti, then drain. Mix the spaghetti with the tomato sauce and basil, then spoon half into a large ovenproof dish. Arrange half the mozzarella over the top and sprinkle with half the Parmesan. Repeat the layers, then bake for 15-20 mins until lightly browned on top. Scatter with extra basil and serve with a big green salad.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven (or toaster oven) to 400 degrees F.
• 2. Cut tomatoes into thick slices, and place them on a foil-lined baking sheet.
• 4. Salt and pepper lightly, add basil (as much or little as you like) and cook tomatoes for 10 minutes, or until tender but not mushy.
• 5. Turn off oven. Top tomatoes with cheese and drizzle with olive oil. Allow to sit in hot oven just long enough for the cheese to melt.

Steps:

• Preheat your oven broiler.
• Grease a small ovenproof dish with 1/2 teaspoon olive oil.
• Layer half of the mozzarella, all the tomatoes, season with basil, garlic, salt, & pepper, top with rest of mozzarella.
• Drizzle with 1/2 teaspoon virgin olive oil.
• Place on the middle rack under your broiler for 5-7 minutes or until the mozzarella is melted and bubbly around the edges.
• Serve hot.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Tip the orzo into a medium casserole dish, then stir in the oil, red peppers, olives, chilli flakes and dried oregano. Tip in the chopped tomatoes, then refill the can halfway with water and pour that in too. Give everything a good mix, season, then cover and bake for 20 mins until the pasta is almost cooked. Take it out of the oven and give the orzo a stir. Remove the foil and return to the oven for a further 5 mins.
• Heat the grill to high. Take the orzo out of the oven and tear the mozzarella over the top, then grill until melted and bubbling. Serve with salad on the side, if you like.

Steps:

• Set oven to 350 degrees.
• Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking pan.
• Place a single layer of the sliced tomatoes in the bottom of the prepared greased baking pan (use just half of the tomatoes for the bottom); set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese (if using), 2 cups of the shredded mozza cheese, crumbled bacon, butter, celery, onion, eggs, garlic salt and oregano; mix well to combine.
• Spoon all of the bread crumb mixture over the tomatoes in the baking pan.
• Top with the remaining sliced tomatoes.
• Sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup (or more if desired) mozza cheese.
• Bake uncovered, for 30 minutes, or until heated through-- DELICIOUS!
• Note: garlic powder may be used in place of garlic salt, just add 1/2- 1 tsp seasoning salt, or to taste (or regular white salt, I prefer seasoning salt) to the bread crumb mixture if using just garlic powder.
