Absolutely fabulous! I used tomatillos mixed in with red tomatoes because I wanted to try this today and there were no green tomatoes to be found! I used 2 large red tomatoes and 2 large tomatillos. The tomatillos mimicked the tart green tomato so I could get the flavors. I also used shredded parmesan instead of cheddar. Since I used parmesan, I only put in 1/2 tsp salt to the spice mixture. I know those are some pretty big changes but I had the french bread pieces to use up and I loved having this recipe for them! This bakes up wonderfully and looks great in the casserole dish when served! I will definitely make this again and again with green or red tomatoes!! Thanks for posting!!
