I didn't peel the tomatoes but I should have because the peel was bitter. The tomatoes on the bottom got really soggy and I wonder if the peel had something to do with that. I didn't blend the cottage cheese and lemon juice, just mashed them with a fork. I also used breadcrumbs instead of cracker meal. The top onions/mushroom part was really great!
