  • Arrange the bread in a single layer in a 13-by-9-inch ovenproof baking dish. Top with the prosciutto and tomato mixture.

  1. Very tasty, easy, and great use of "getting a bit stale" bread that needs to be used up. I also sprinkled on some cheese on top. Thanks for posting this recipe for all to share!
     
  2. An interesting light snack for lunch or supper. I had the ingredients to hand, sliced some jamon from the bone; picked tomatos and chives from the garden. My wife thgought this was a refreshing dish, we had it with a glass of Rose wine.
     
  3. What is there not to love and adore about this dish? So yummy and tasty it actually got my dog, a mastiff to stand right up and "wolf". The aroma whilst baking, especially the dressing, poured over the tomatoes, the chives, the bread, the eggs. I didn't have cream, so I made a concoction up of skim milk, light sour cream, and 1% cottage cheese (blended in blender) then added to the top. Fresh chives donned the top and I had some very thin sliced Smithfield ham that was used. Very yummy :) and will make again and soon too! Made for Everyday is a Holiday May 2009
     
  4. Delicious! And easy to prepare. Thanks for sharing!
     
  5. Very good, versatile recipe! Was a tad concerned about the vinegar, but put it in and it was fine! (You never know unless you try.) I pre-cooked pepper bacon and cut the bread into cubes so it would be easier to get out of the casserole as I was making a half batch inside a greased 1 quart casserole dish-a pretty small dish. Baked for 25 minutes. Thanks for a wonderful lunch, kittycatmom! Made for 1-2-3 Hit Wonders!
