Prepare the Crumb Topping
In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, shredded mozzarella cheese, chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and minced garlic. Mix well and set this aside for later use. -
Cook the Vegetables
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the broccoli or cauliflower florets and cook, stirring frequently, for about 2 minutes. -
Add the Onion Soup Mix
Stir in the onion soup mix blended with water. Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil. -
Simmer
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, for about 8 minutes or until the broccoli or cauliflower is almost tender. -
Incorporate Tomatoes
Add the diced tomatoes to the skillet and simmer for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. -
Assemble the Casserole
Spoon the vegetable mixture into a 2-quart broiler-proof baking dish. Evenly spread the prepared crumb topping over the vegetables. -
Broil
Place the baking dish under the broiler and cook for 1 1/2 minutes or until the crumb topping is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
