- 1 large Egg
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 12 each Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 10 each Fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and salt.
Add the egg and 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the almond flour mixture and stir well to form a dough.
Place the dough on the prepared baking sheet and press it out into a thin, even layer about 1/4 inch thick.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove the crust from the oven and immediately sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
In a small bowl, toss the halved cherry tomatoes with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and black pepper.
Remove the crust from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before topping it with the marinated cherry tomatoes.
Tear the fresh basil leaves and sprinkle over the top just before serving.
Slice into portions and serve immediately as a delightful appetizer or snack.
