Tomato and Basil Bake

This is a Rachael Ray recipe.  I always feel like we are stuck in a rut when it comes to sides with our dinners, so when cherry tomatoes were on sale last week I found this recipe and for side that was so quick and easy to make we both enjoyed this a lot.

1 pint cherry tomatoes
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp olive oil
1/3 cup panko
2 tbsp butter, melted
2 tbsp fresh basil, chopped

Preheat oven to 450

Cut the tomatoes in half and toss them with the garlic and olive oil.  Season with salt and pepper and place in an 8x8 baking dish and cook for 15 minutes.

Combine the panko and melted butter and sprinkle over the tomatoes.  Cook for another 5 minutes, then top with the fresh basil.
