Tomato Crumble: The intense flavor of roasted tomatoes topped with a deliciously cheesy crumb-topping.
Hi, you guys!! It’s FRIDAY! *insert “jazz-hands”*
Apparently, we’re quickly approaching Fall. It’s barely 65-degrees around hurr… What is wrong with this climate?! Ugh. It’s only mid-August and I’m grabbing a sweater to go outside. Boohoo!
So, I had every intention to bring you some Friday-pie, buuuut we had a change of plans.
Someone misplaced their memory card, and since I can’t just give you words without photos, said pie will have to wait.
Also… I went to my mom’s, again, and raided her vegetable garden. Again. I got tomatoes, zucchini, cucumbers, banana peppers, and strawberries. My grocery bill is half of what it normally is. Cha-Ching!!
I’ve noticed that everyone is ready to pass off bushels of zucchini like it ain’t no thang. I know zucchini multiply like rabbits, but come on! My dad was like, here, take these 10 bags of zucchini, you’ll need them for your blog! Really?! I would have to blog about zucchini all year long just to get rid of them all! Which, by the way, I have a recipe with zucs for this Sunday. #sorrynotsorry #itssogood
My parents were just as quick about giving me tons of their tomatoes. Luckily, we like them things, A LOT! Roasted Tomato Soup (yummmmers!), Quinoa and Spinach Stuffed Tomatoes (oh YES! can’t wait!), and Hashbrowns, Spinach and Tomato Pie for Sunday mornin’ brunch! And! And and and… one more Tomato Crumble for my Mom.
As if roasted tomatoes weren’t enough, I threw some deeeelicious crumbs on top, grabbed a bottle of Chardonnay in my hand, and ate half of what you see, while relaxing on my back porch. I don’t slow down to relax very often, but this was totally perfect. You jelly? Don’t be! Go make this Tomato Crumble, grab your favorite wine, then eat and drink outside! Or! Or you could plop down in front of the TV and watch Friends-reruns. Maybe Three’s Company is your thing?? It definitely IS mine!
Have a great weekend!! xoxo
ENJOY!

I made this for dinner tonight and it came out great! I cut it in half, since I only had 1 pound of tomatoes. I further cut back on the amount of crumble topping, just by a little, to make it lighter. I used about 1/2 cup flour and 2 1/2 tablespoons of butter. This was tasty, easy, and I would definitely make it again. Thanks for the great recipe.
That is great!! So happy you enjoyed it!! Thanks so much, Hillary!
I’ve never thought to make a savory crumble before, but I’m really loving tomatoes at the moment so this just look perfect!
