    Why You'll Love this Cheesy White Bean Tomato Bake

    It’s a multi-seasonal use for tomatoes. For instance, if you’re craving tomato recipes all year, this recipe is perfect for making any time.

    It's really easy! In the same way, while there is a bit of hands-on time while stirring the confit, this is still an easy recipe that turns out so satisfying.

    Lastly, the ingredients are fresh and nutritious. As always, Pure Flavor’s tomatoes used for the confit are packed with flavor and accompanied by other whole ingredients.

    Ingredients for this Tomato Bake

    Speaking of ingredients, without a doubt this recipe has a list of simple and delicious ingredients that truly make this recipe one you’ll keep coming back to again!

    Ingredients for white bean bake.
    • Olive oil – A base for the shallots and garlic.
    • ‍Shallot – Just a little onion flavor without being overpowering.
    • ‍Garlic – I like to use a good amount of garlic in a confit!
    • Crushed red pepper – To add a little heat.
    • ‍Cloud 9® Bite-Sized Fruity Tomatoes – These tomatoes are the ideal sweetness level, break down so nicely in the confit, and are also the perfectly red bite-sized tomato you may crave all year like we do!
    • Thyme – Pairs great with the cooked tomatoes.
    • Basil – Of course!
    • White Beans – The white beans are key in this recipe even more so to make it a hearty dish that is great to share with others for an appetizer or dinner.
    • Mozzarella – Great melting cheese for a golden top.
    • Parmesan – Adds some sharpness that pairs great with the tomatoes.
    • Bread! – The best for dipping.

    This is an easy and hearty recipe which comes together in just a little over an hour!

    STEP 1: Preheat the oven. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

    Tips for Making this Cheesy White Bean Tomato Bake

    • Firstly cook the confit over low heat and stir frequently to ensure the tomatoes slowly break down.
    • I recommend using the Cloud 9® Bite-Sized Fruity Tomatoes as they are the perfect size for breaking down easily in the confit while also leaving some texture.
    • Lastly, if the cheese is melted but not quite golden yet, certainly you can switch the broiler on and watch closely for 1-2 minutes!

    FAQs

    When is this recipe best served?
    This tomato bake would be perfect for a shared appetizer with a group or a splitable full meal served with some bread and maybe a side salad.

    Do I need to use fresh tomatoes?
    Above all, for this confit fresh tomatoes are necessary and because they’re cooked down it is ideal if you’re craving tomatoes any time of year!

    Can I use different cheeses for topping?
    Fontina could be substituted for the mozzarella and romano for the parmesan if needed.

    Storing and Freezing

    This recipe is best served right away but can be stored in the fridge for 2-3 days and reheated prior to serving.

    I don't recommend freezing this recipe.
