Ingredients

  • 6 oz fresh mozzarella slices
  • 1-2 Tbsp of basil pesto
  • ¾-1 cup grape or cherry tomatoes (sliced in half)
  • Garnish with torn fresh basil or drizzle with balsamic glaze

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Place grape or cherry tomatoes in an oven-safe dish and roast for 5-7 minutes, or until they burst. Remove the tomatoes from the oven and transfer them to a separate dish. Set aside.
    Carefully add the mozzarella and pesto to the hot baking dish. *Caution: The dish is hot!* Bake for 7–10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly. Gently stir the melted cheese and pesto together, then top with the roasted tomatoes. Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional minute. Garnish with fresh basil or a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
    Serve with crusty bread or crackers, and watch it disappear!
