Tomato Crumble Pie

I am often looking for recipes to use over the tomato season and found this in a paper. I have not made it yet and am posting here to try next season. Sliced fennel can also be added with the tomatoes and onions, and Parmesan to the breadcrumb topping. Make sure breadcrumbs are coarse. Recipe state day old sour dough bread makes great crumble topping.
