WARM ZUCCHINI AND TOMATO SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 Farenheit, and get a glass pie dish.
• Slice zucchini lengthwise into ½ inch strips.
• Lay zucchini strips on bottom of pie plate to roughly cover the bottom. Small spaces are ok.
• Sprinkle ~1/3 to 1/2 cup of the croutons (I really just eyeballed it - a couple of handfuls).
• Slice the stem end of the tomato off, then slice the rest of the tomato into six ½ inch slices. Arrange the largest 5 slices around the edge, and put the smallest slice in the center.
• Sprinkle another layer of croutons, 1/3-1/2 cup or so.
• Drizzle a tablespoon or two of olive oil all around (again I just eyeballed it).
• Grind pepper over the top so the whole top is dusted lightly (~1/4 to 1/2 tsp worth, or to your liking).
• Sprinkle sea salt all around (again 1/4 to ½ tsp or to your liking).
• Cover with layer of whatever shredded cheeses you have.
• Bake in 450 F oven for about 11 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 and bake until the cheese looks browned and sort of crispy ~3-5 minutes (or whenever it looks good to you - my croutons got pretty brown).
• Remove from oven. Slice, like a pie, between each tomato slices (i.e. into fifths).
• Remove piece with spatula, to plate or bowl and drizzle with balsamic vinaigrette to your taste.

Brush the tomatoes with the oil mixture lightly on all sides and place, cut side down on 2 baking sheets.

In another bowl, whisk together the vinegar, remaining olive oil, salt, pepper, thyme and basil. Add to the vegetables and toss.
