Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas mark 4.

Put the tomatoes in a bowl of just-boiled water, and leave for 30 seconds. Peel off the skin and thinly slice the flesh.

Brush the inside of an ovenproof dish liberally with some of the butter.

Arrange a layer of tomato slices in the bottom of the dish, then sprinkle with a little of the garlic, sugar and basil. Season with salt and pepper. Pour over a thin layer of cream. Repeat these layers until all the ingredients have been used.

Mix the breadcrumbs and Parmesan together, then sprinkle over the top of the tomatoes and cream. Dot with the remaining butter.

Bake in the oven for 20–30 minutes until the topping is golden brown. Serve hot.
