didn't have oregano, substituted basil and parmesan instead. looking at the pic on eatingwell.com today, it appears i was a little skimpy on the parmesan.

added a bit of feta to the tomatoes once they had cooled slightly. nice sharpness and creaminess.

will try again and perhaps add bread crumbs to make it more of a gratin.
