Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 200 grams Fresh mozzarella balls
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze
- 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Wash the cherry tomatoes and place them in a medium-sized oven-safe dish.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves, then sprinkle them over the cherry tomatoes.
Drizzle the olive oil over the tomatoes and garlic. Add the salt and black pepper, then toss everything to coat evenly.
Roast the cherry tomatoes in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until they start to blister and soften.
While the tomatoes are roasting, slice the fresh mozzarella balls into bite-sized pieces if they are large or keep them whole if they are small.
Remove the roasted tomatoes from the oven and immediately toss with the mozzarella pieces, allowing the residual heat to melt the cheese slightly.
Transfer the mixture to a serving plate or bowl and top with fresh basil leaves.
Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the salad and serve immediately while warm.
