This dish highlights sweet and tangy cherry tomatoes, which are at their peak ripeness in the summer. The tomatoes are slow cooked until juicy and then topped with crisp bread and melted gruyere cheese for a rich and flavorful summer dish. To keep the topping crisp, we broil the bread separately from the tomatoes before adding them with the cheese for a final broil. If you want to serve more people, this recipe can easily be doubled, simply use two Suvie pans for the tomatoes instead of one and broil the breadcrumb topping in batches.

2) While the tomatoes cook, tear the bread into ½-inch pieces (you should have just over 2 cups).
3) After the tomatoes have cooked, place bread in a separate Suvie pan, drizzle with remaining 1 tsp olive oil and a pinch of salt. Insert into your Suvie, and broil alongside the tomatoes for 10 minutes, stirring both pans halfway through cooking.
