Think of this dish as pizza that has morphed into another form. (And it’s easier to make, too.)

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups bread, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (day-old Italian or French)
4 organic tomatoes, seeded, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon sugar
Salt & pepper to taste
¹⁄₂ cup chopped basil leaves
¹⁄₃ cup Organic Valley shredded Parmesan, divided
¹⁄₂ cup pizza sauce

Directions

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Heat a heavy skillet over medium flame. Add oil and bread cubes; toss and cook until bread is lightly browned, 8-10 minutes.

2. Add tomatoes, garlic and sugar. Cook 3 minutes, stirring often. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in basil.

3. Spread tomato mixture in casserole. Sprinkle half the Parmesan evenly over the top. Drizzle with pizza sauce. Bake 25 minutes. Sprinkle on remaining parmesan; bake 5-10 minutes longer. Let stand 5 minutes at room temperature before serving.
