Prepare Ingredients: Begin by carefully squeezing the tomatoes to remove the seeds, then thinly slice them. Similarly, slice the yellow onions into thin rounds.
-
Layering: Spray a glass casserole dish with non-stick coating. Start layering the sliced onions and tomatoes in the dish, sprinkling seasoning and grated Parmesan cheese between each layer.
-
Bread Crumb Mixture: In a separate bowl, toss the bread crumbs with melted butter until well coated. Add grated Parmesan cheese to the mixture according to your taste preferences.
-
Top and Bake: Spread the prepared bread crumb and cheese mixture evenly over the top layer of the casserole. Bake the lasagna in a preheated oven at 325°F (165°C) for 1 hour. Cover the dish with foil for the first half-hour of baking to prevent excessive browning.
-
Final Touch: Once baked, remove the lasagna from the oven. Drain any excess liquid that may have accumulated during baking, then allow it to stand for a few minutes before serving.
Tips:
- For added flavor, consider incorporating herbs like basil or oregano into the seasoning mix.
- If you prefer a crispy top, broil the lasagna for a few minutes at the end of baking.
- Serve this Tomato-Onion Lasagna alongside grilled vegetables or a leafy green salad for a well-balanced meal.
