FRIED GREEN TOMATOES

8 ripe medium tomatoes, cored and thickly sliced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 cup fresh breadcrumbs
1 large clove garlic, minced
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil

Preheat oven to 425°F. Lightly oil a shallow 2-quart baking dish or coat it with nonstick spray.

Arrange tomato slices, slightly overlapping, in prepared dish. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and sprinkle with vinegar. In a small bowl, combine breadcrumbs, garlic, thyme, pepper, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Sprinkle crumb mixture over tomatoes and drizzle with oil.

Bake tomatoes for 30 to 35 minutes, or until tomatoes are tender and the breadcrumbs are crisp and golden. Serve hot.

Makes 8 servings.

TEST KITCHEN TIP: If you have two ovenproof skillets, cook all the tomatoes at the same time.
