Ever since I saw this post on Iowa Girl Eats I was dying to make Baked Panzanella Caprese. I knew I’d have dinner by myself (after hitting the gym and the mall, of course) since my husband was working until 9, and when a coworker brought in home grown tomatoes, it all fell into place.
Glad I used up some of the last fresh basil leaves – there was frost on my car this morning!
I may have chosen a too-large piece of garlic – my poor husband.
Can you tell I love saying that he’s my husband? 
Instead of regular olive oil, I used this amazing truffle oil I picked up last weekend.
Fresh, local, Mancini Italian bread.
And a plain omelet on the side for some protein.
Protein, carbs, and fat – yes please!
I have a few more tomatoes left over – maybe I’ll pour the eggs over top before baking and have a caprese souffle this weekend for breakfast.
Kristin rocks. Pumpkin frozen yogurt for dessert?
Any foods you’re in a hurry to use up before they go bad / are out of season?
Happy Friday, all!

any kind of summer fruit! I’m also trying to have as many of my smoothies as I can before it’s just too cold!
That looks tasty! I’ve never had panzanella, but it sounds like a winner.
Truffle oil? Fancy! That sounds really good.

It is expensive, but definitely worth it! The flavor is incredible!
That is one impressive dish! You must pour eggs over it for a souffle – I can’t even imagine how good that would be.
I was thinking of using your cottage cheese/egg bake with these ingredients…
That looks so delicious and totally right up my alley! I’m trying to get my fill of iced coffee before it gets too cold!
I switched to hot coffee already!
That looks so good! I love anything that resemble lasagna
Hmm…maybe berries? Although I’ll just buy the frozen ones this fall and winter!
That looks really really good. I don’t know if I have ever had truffle oil…but I want some!
Thanks Tina – it’s all thanks to Kristin’s recipe though!
I had truffle oil for the first time on a mushroom flatbread… it’s got incredible flavor!
I have never had truffle oil before but I saw a video of someone putting it on top of pizza, I was intrigued lol
Truffle oil is so good. I can’t believe how much I spent on that bottle though!
I snagged mine for 4.99 at Marshalls!
Yum! Looks good. How’d the truffle oil go? I sometimes worry it would be too strong? For me, I’m using as many tomatoes as I can, while I can.
claire ~ this looks delish!! and that’s too cute that you like saying “my husband,” congratulations to you again!!!

I have been roasting red peppers like a fiend because they’ve been on sale here and I know that won’t last long. I’m also going to go nuts with orchard fruit, I think. Nothing beats orchard-fresh apples <3
Panzanella is one of my favorite things when I want something filling and fresh. Baking it looks like it takes the dish to a whole new level of comfort!!
