FAQs

Can I make this ahead and reheat? Yes. Assemble, refrigerate up to 1 day, then bake or cook in a skillet until heated through.
Can I use different cheeses? Any grated cheese that melts well works; mix or swap with mozzarella, cheddar, or Gruyère.
What thickness should the tomato slices be? Slice tomatoes about 1/4 inch thick for even layering and soaking in flavor.
