    Title: Summer Panzanella
    Categories: Breads, Vegetables, Herbs
    Yield: 4 servings

    1/2 c Extra-virgin olive oil,
    - divided
    4 tb Unsalted butter
    3 cl Garlic; peeled, sliced
    1/2 x Baguette or other good
    - bread; in 1/2" cubes
    4 lb Any and all kinds and colors
    - of the best vine-ripened
    - tomatoes available
    2 tb Balsamic vinegar
    Salt & fresh ground pepper
    1 Handful fresh basil leaves;
    - thin sliced, more for
    - garnish

    Set the oven @ 350+|F/175+|C.

    In a large ovenproof skillet, heat 1/4 cup of the oil
    and the butter over medium heat. When the butter has
    melted, remove the skillet from heat, add the garlic and
    bread cubes, and mix well. Place the skillet in the oven
    and bake, stirring occasionally, until the bread is
    golden and crisp, 10-15 minutes. Remove the skillet from
    oven and set aside to cool.

    MEANWHILE, PREPARE THE TOMATOES: If using cherry
    tomatoes, halve lengthwise. For larger tomatoes, core
    and slice into medium cubes. Put the tomatoes in a large
    bowl, add the vinegar and remaining 1/4 cup oil, then
    season to taste with salt and pepper; toss well to
    combine.

    Shortly before serving, toss bread and basil in with the
    tomatoes. Adjust seasonings. Spoon panzanella into each
    of four shallow soup bowls and garnish with sprigs of
    basil.
