MICHELE'S SPINACH CASSEROLE
Recipe By : BECKY ( MICHELE AUCOIN'S RECIPE)

2 packages frozen spinach -- chopped, cooked
-- and drained
2 onions -- chopped
1 cup cheese -- grated
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 cup mayonnaise (my-nez if your Cajun)
2 eggs
bread crumbs
margarine

Combine first 6 ingredients.
Place in buttered casserole dish.
Dot top with butter, sprinkle with bread crumbs.
Bake 45 min at 350 degrees.
(Foil may be used for the first 20 min)

**What I've learned from experience: I like my onions more cooked than
crunchy, so I put some margarine in the casserole dish with just the
onions and cook them in the microwave until almost clear. I then add
everything else and continue as above. I also usually add a few drops
of Louisiana hot sauce before cooking. I often cook the casserole for
about 15 min in the microwave before adding the bread crumbs. I then
add the margarine and bread crumbs and "brown" it in the oven, about
10-15 min. It also does well when mixed the day before and stored in
the refrigerator overnight before cooking.

Cheese and Tomato Pie

3 or 4 slices white bread, crusts off
butter
1 egg white, slightly beaten
4 tablespoons fine dry bread crumbs
1 can tomatoes, medium size (I chop them somewhat)
1 tablespoon finely grated onion
salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon sugar
4 ounces grated Cheddar cheese
2 eggs
1 cup milk

Butter the bread slices, then generously butter a 9-inch glass pie plate. Arrange the bread slices to line the plate, butter side down. Brush the top of the bread with the beaten egg white and sprinkle evenly with the crumbs.

Drain the can of tomatoes and lay the tomato pieces on the crumbs, saving the juice for another day. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, sugar and onion. Top with grated cheese.

Now beat together the eggs and milk and pour over all. Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes. Serves four.

Terrie,.MD (01:57:27) : Here is a good way to use all those garden tomatoes, too!

SUMMER TOMATO TERRINE

4 1/2 pounds ripe field tomatoes (about
10 large ones)
7 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
5 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 1/2 cups finely diced red onion
7 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 unsliced loaf brioche, pain de mie or
other fine-textured white bread
1 1/2 cups minced Italian parsley

1. Bring large pot of water to boil. Using slotted spoon, dip tomato in for a few seconds and remove. Repeat until skin cracks, and set aside to cool. Repeat with remaining tomatoes. Slip skins off, and cut tomatoes in half. Remove cores and seeds. Cut flesh into 1/4-inch dice, and place in large bowl.

2. In a small saute pan over low heat,
heat 1 tablespoon oil and saute garlic just until softened, not browned. Add to
tomatoes with onion, vinegar and remaining oil. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to mix well.

3. Line an 11 1/2-by-4-by-3-inch terrine
with plastic wrap. Remove crust from
bread, and cut loaf lengthwise to make a
slice 1/4 inch thick to fit bottom of mold. (If necessary, use more than one slice, fitting them together in an even layer.) Spoon a third of the tomatoes evenly across bread, and sprinkle with a third of the parsley.

4. Top with another 1/4-inch layer of
bread. Add a third of the tomatoes and a
third of the parsley. Repeat with last
layers of bread, tomato and parsley, and
top with bread. Spread any juices over
bread. Cover with plastic, and place brick or similar weight on top. Refrigerate overnight.

5. To serve, lift terrine from mold and remove plastic wrap. Using a serrated knife, cut terrine into slices 1/2 inch thick.

Yield: 6 to 10 servings.

Bread
1 loaf unsliced sourdough or other firm bread, cut into 8 slices

Melt first four stuffing ingredients in a large saute pan. Simmer
on low heat for a few minutes. Add bananas and saute for 5
more minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cool.

Using a small paring knife, cut a slit into one side of the bread
to make a pocket -- don't go through the other 3 sides of the
bread. Repeat with the remaining bread slices. Use a
teaspoon to stuff the bananas mixture into the bread pockets.
Set aside.

dipping. Add the remaining toping ingredients to a food
processor and pulse to form a crumbly streusel topping.
Transfer to a bowl.

in a single layer. Arrange the stuffed bread slices in the batter
and let soak for 10 minutes. Turn and soak for 10 more
minutes.

Spray a baking sheet large enough for all 8 slices with
vegetable spray. Dip one side of the bread into the sliced
almonds and place almond side up on the baking sheet.
Repeat with remaining slices. Sprinkle any remaining almonds
over the 8 slices. Sprinkle the streusel toping over the 8 slices.
