Meal planning

This recipe looks fantastic!
It's going to be a beautiful day today.
D and the kids are on their way home
from the beach and I have the day off.
Planning dinner
for tonight to
enjoy out on the patio.

Here is the recipe for this delicious dish.

Baked Summer Tomatoes
2 cups cubed ciabatta bread (1/2" cubes)
1 cup packed arugula
6 eggs, beaten together
salt and pepper to taste
1 large tomato, sliced
small handful of basil leaves, sliced thin
1 cup crumbled feta
2 T. olive oil
3 med. shallots, sliced thin
~
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Spread bread cubes in bottom of oven proof dish.
Top ea. with arugula and then egg.
Season with salt and pepper.
Top with sliced tomato, basil and feta cheese.
Transfer dish to oven and heat for about 15-18 min.
till eggs are set and cheese is beginning to brown.
While casserole is baking, make the fried shallots.
Heat 2 T. of olive oil over med. heat,
add shallots and cook, stirring occasionally,
till golden brown and crispy.
Remove casserole from oven and top

Note: I think I will brown the ciabatta a bit
before I put it in the casserole.
