Ingredients
- 300 grams green tomatoes (sliced ¼" thick)
breadcrumb topping
- ½ cup panko
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon celery seeds
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
mornay sauce
- 1 tablespoon cultured unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
- ½ cups heavy cream
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 50 grams Comté cheese
Instructions
- Put the oven rack in the middle position and preheat to 375 degrees F.
- To make the topping, mix the panko, onion powder, celery seeds, salt and pepper until everything is evenly distributed, then drizzle on the olive oil and stir to combine.
- To make the mornay sauce, put the butter and flour in a small saucepan and cook over medium heat until the mixture is bubbly, but do not let the flour brown.
- Turn the heat down, then whisk in the cream until the mixture is free of lumps and it starts to thicken.
- Once the sauce thickens, add the salt and stir in the cheese a little bit at a time until it is all incorporated. The mornay sauce will be very thick, but this is okay since the the tomatoes will release a lot of water.
- Arrange the sliced green tomatoes and mornay sauce in layers in an oven safe dish, then spread any remaining sauce on top of the green tomatoes.
- Sprinkle the panko topping evenly over the top of the tomatoes and place the dish in the oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the sauce is bubbling, the tomatoes are tender, and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
