6 servings This is the perfect savory cobbler to make in late summer, when your garden is overrun by cherry tomatoes. We like to use drop biscuits for the topping, and we add a handful of chopped herbs, such as thyme and chives, and some grated Cheddar to the dough.

Step 8.
Roll out the dough as directed (unless using drop biscuit dough), and cut into 2- to 3-inch biscuits. Place the biscuits or drop the biscuit dough in walnut-sized pieces on top of the tomatoes, allowing some of the tomato mixture to peek through. Place the skillet in the oven and bake until the biscuits are golden brown and the tomato mixture is bubbling, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
