Herbed Tomato Gratin

Vegetable gratin recipes often have a crunchy breadcrumb or crouton topping.

But summer tomatoes are too gorgeous to hide, so we tucked crusty cubes of bread underneath them instead.

If it’s possible for you to’t find marjoram, fresh basil or oregano makes a good substitute.

Crushed red pepper adds a light kick of spice to round out the flavors.

The sturdy leaves of mature spinach hold up best during cooking.
