Various summer tomato-based recipes are highlighted, ranging from savory baked dishes to fresh salads.

A cheesy baked tomato casserole features layers of sliced tomatoes, seasoned bread crumbs, onion, garlic, and cheeses such as Parmigiano and mozzarella or gruyere. The recipe involves toasting bread crumbs with olive oil, onion, and garlic before layering them with the tomatoes and cheese for baking.
