I make this tomato cobbler recipe during the height of summer, when tomatoes are abundant and super flavorful. The topping is a cross between that of a crisp and a cobbler. It's a delightful way to use up fresh garden produce. —Mohammad Abdullah, Fremont, California

Ingredients

  • 1 cup plus 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons sugar, divided
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper, divided
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature, lightly beaten
  • 8 large tomatoes, skins and seeds removed, coarsely chopped
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • Minced fresh basil, optional

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. For topping, in a small bowl, combine 1 cup flour, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, 1 tablespoon sugar, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon basil, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add eggs, 1 at a time, tossing with a fork until dough holds together when pressed (mixture will be sticky).
  2. In a large bowl, combine remaining 3 tablespoons flour, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon basil, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add tomatoes; gently toss to coat. Transfer mixture to a greased 3-qt. baking dish. Sprinkle with topping; drizzle with melted butter.
  3. Bake, uncovered, until filling is bubbly and topping is golden brown, 35-40 minutes. If desired, top with fresh basil. Serve warm.
