The fresh basil just elevates this dish to something special. The guys who I shared this with didn't appreciate so much tomato, so maybe I could slice the tomatoes into 1" slices? I used dried whole wheat bread crumbs.

I think I'll try using 1/4 cup of bread crumbs next time instead of 1/2 a cup, but other than that this is a great recipe! It's the perfect side-dish for a formal meal!

Cooking the bread crumbs with the garlic and olive oil really kicks up the flavor. Very delicious!
