Baked Tomatoes (Plain)

The tomatoes can be peeled, sliced, and layered in the baking dish up to 4 hours ahead. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature for 20 minutes before baking and add 5-10 minutes to the covered baking time if starting cold.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The texture will soften considerably. Reheat gently in a 300°F oven for 10-12 minutes. Note that the cream topping may separate upon reheating; consider adding fresh whipped cream when serving leftovers.
