  • “We really liked this. I used 2 pieces of stale bread and a cup of crushed saltine crackers.I put about 1/4 cup of grated parmasean on the top before I put it in the oven. A nice side dish with a lot of flavor. I recommend this especially if you’re a tomato lover like we are.”

  • “Thanks for posting this recipe.It reminded me of my Grandmother.I guess it was the simplicity of the taste.I am a great tomato eater, raw, cooked, however, and this was wonderful.I will print this out and add it to my tried and true recipes.”

  • “What a nice simple and different side dish.Mine was a bit too “loose” so next time I’ll add a bit more bread.Glad this was posted.”

  • “When I was young my friend’s mom made this and I always remembered it as a favorite of mine. When I saw the recipe I had to try it…a little altered. I put tiny mozzerella balls and dried basil mixed in plus parmesean on top with a few panko crumbs. It was superb!!!!”

  • “I tried it and absolutely loved it.I addeda cup of crushed up crackerswiththe bread .I will be making this a lot.I cannot believe how simple it was to make.Thanks Lorac”

  • “I tried this because I had never heard of tomato pudding, is was ok, but we didn’t care for the texture. Perhaps we need more bread in it, it was quite loose but had a nice flavour.A change from our usual veggie side dishes.”

  • “I’m not rating this, because I don’t care for tomato pudding, but I took a taste, and it was very good (i did add parmesan and basil on top).I also took a reviewer’s advice and put in 2 pieces of bread and a cup of crackers and the texture was perfect.I took it to a neighbor for dinner, and they thought it was wonderful.I can tell you it looked nice, and smelled delicious.Wish I liked tomato pudding :(“
