Steps:
- Grease the bottom of a 13 by 9 by 2-inch baking dish or other shallow 3-quart baking pan.
- Butter each bread slice on one side. Stack the bread, 6 at a time, and cut on the diagonal into triangles. Place half of the bread pieces, buttered sides down, in the bottom of the prepared dish. Scatter the goat or feta cheese over the bread in one layer. Scatter the cherry tomatoes over the cheese. Top with the remaining buttered bread pieces, buttered sides up.
- In a bowl with a whisk, beat eggs, milk and pesto until well-blended. Pour over the bread and cheese mixture in the dish. Tamp down the top pieces of bread lightly with the back of a fork so that they soak up some liquid. Sprinkle the top with the grated cheese. Cover the dish tightly with foil and refrigerate overnight.

TOMATO PUDDING
Tomatoes are baked with torn bread to make a savory tomato pudding. So simple, we love it with meatloaf and baked potatoes. I serve it at dinner parties, and I am always asked for the recipe. Add it to any oven cooked meal.

BAKED TOMATO PUDDING ..OLD FAMILY HEIRLOOM RECIPE

TOMATO BREAD PUDDING
I love homegrown tomatoes, and while they are in season, this is a yummy side dish. Courtesy of Rachel Ray. Update to recipe: After cooking for minutes, I gently mixed, then cooked for 10-15 minutes longer. Then topped with parmesan and put under broiler to melt cheese and toast. Also recommend lightly toasting the baguette prior to cutting into cubes, then rub with fresh garlic before mixing with tomatoes.

TOMATO BREAD PUDDING
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F with rack in middle. Butter a 3-quart shallow baking dish (about 13 by 9 inches).
- Toss tomatoes in a bowl with herbes de Provence, 1 tablespoon oil, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Arrange tomatoes, cut sides up, in a large heavy 4-sided sheet pan.
- Cut off and discard 1/4 inch from top of garlic head to expose cloves, then put on a sheet of foil and drizzle with 1 teaspoon oil. Wrap garlic in foil and roast in pan with tomatoes until tomatoes are browned but still juicy and garlic is soft, 50 to 60 minutes. (Leave oven on.) Cool garlic to warm, then force through a medium-mesh sieve with a rubber spatula, discarding skins. Reserve purée
- While garlic cooks, toss bread cubes in a large bowl with remaining oil until coated, then spread out in a large 4-sided sheet pan and bake until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool in pan.
- Reduce oven temperature to 350°F.
- Whisk together milk, cream, eggs, garlic purée, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Stir in cheeses. Transfer bread to baking dish, then pour egg mixture over bread and add tomatoes, pushing some down between bread cubes. Bake until firm to the touch and golden brown in spots, 50 to 60 minutes.
TOMATO PUDDING
Steps:
- Peel the tomatoes, and cut them in half. Scoop out the seeds, juice and pulp and process with the skins. Chop the tomato flesh, and put it in a bowl. Rub the pulp and skins through the sieve to extract maximum juice and flavor. Pour half the resulting liquid on to the tomatoes. Taste the mixture, and then just enough salt and pepper to season. Season the remaining tomato liquid with salt and pepper to taste. Cut the bread into wedges, dip into the seasoned tomato liquid, and line small molds as if making individual summer puddings, or a large pudding basin. Spoon in the chopped tomato, and cover with a round of bread. Cover the puddings, weight them, and refrigerate for six to eight hours or overnight. To serve, turn out on to a chilled plate, decorate with herbs, and serve with a tomato vinaigrette made with extra-virgin olive oil, sherry vinegar and some saved tomato pulp. Accompany, if you wish with a salad of steamed baby artichokes, leeks, asparagus, broccoli spears, and other summer vegetables, or simply with a sprig of mint and some miniature tomatoes.

TOMATO PUDDING
This may sound strange, but it's really very good. My aunt used to serve it at Christmas, and my mother would make it about every couple of weeks because it was one of the few vegetables us kids would eat. My father loved it; I guess his mother used to make it for him. When I fix it again I'll post a picture.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes: Use tomatoes that are in season and have a deep red color. Avoid tomatoes that are green or have blemishes.
- Use fresh herbs and spices: Fresh herbs and spices will add a lot of flavor to your tomato pudding. Some good options include basil, thyme, oregano, and garlic.
- Don't overcook the tomatoes: Overcooked tomatoes will become mushy and lose their flavor. Cook them just until they are softened but still hold their shape.
- Use a variety of textures: A combination of soft and firm textures will make your tomato pudding more interesting to eat. Try using a mixture of fresh tomatoes, cooked tomatoes, and bread crumbs.
- Serve tomato pudding warm or cold: Tomato pudding can be served warm or cold. If you are serving it warm, let it cool slightly before serving. If you are serving it cold, chill it for at least 2 hours before serving.
Conclusion:
Tomato pudding is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its simple ingredients and bold flavors, tomato pudding is a dish that everyone will enjoy.
