Roasted Tomatoes with Mozzarella and Basil

I usually eat tomatoes fresh. I like to mix it with mozzarella and basil, but I’ve never roasted it as a trio before. This was a big mistake. You want to try this recipe. So simple, yet so tasty. Combine it with a good bread and that’s it. Thank you Simply Delicious for inspiration. Have a great weekend everyone!

You will need:

• 3 medium tomatoes
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• salt and pepper
• 3 slices of mozzarella
• 3 basil leaves for serving

For a dressing:

• handful of fresh basil
• 1 garlic clove
• 2 tbsp olive oil

Cut tomatoes in half, place them in a baking dish cut side up, dazzle with oil, balsamic vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Bake in 180*C for about 20 minutes. After this time place mozzarella on 3 halves and bake for 5 more minutes.

Meantime blend all the ingredients for dressing.

When tomatoes are ready, place a leaf of basil on each one covered with mozzarella and cover with another half. Top with a dressing. Tastes great with a slice of good bread.

Enjoy, Marta
