Add cheese and breadcrumbs for that perfect topping
What would a casserole be without a bit of cheese? Sprinkle a generous layer of shredded mozzarella over the bruschetta mix—about 1 to 1.5 cups should do the trick. For added texture and flavor, combine half a cup of breadcrumbs (panko works great for crunchiness) with a little grated Parmesan cheese. Spread this mixture evenly on top of the cheese layer.
This combination creates a delightful crunch that contrasts beautifully with the tender chicken and tomatoes below.
Bake to perfection
Time to slide the dish into the oven! Bake at 375°F for about 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly. Keep an eye on it towards the end; every oven is different, and you want that perfect golden crust.
