Ingredients

• 4 large Green tomatoes
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1.5 cups Cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Slice the green tomatoes into 1/4-inch-thick rounds and set them aside.

Step 3

Finely dice the yellow onion and mince the garlic.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 6

Layer half of the green tomato slices in the bottom of the casserole dish. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 7

Spread half of the cooked onion and garlic mixture on top of the tomatoes.

Step 8

Sprinkle 3/4 cup of cheddar cheese evenly over the onion layer.

Step 9

Repeat with the remaining tomato slices, onion mixture, and another 3/4 cup of cheddar cheese.

Step 10

In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, melted butter, and chopped fresh parsley. Mix well until evenly coated.

Step 11

Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top layer of cheese in the casserole.

Step 12

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Step 13

Uncover the dish and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.

Step 14

Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra fresh parsley, if desired.
