Ingredients:
- 1 pint (250g) cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 tbsp (30ml) extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 tsp (3g) sea salt
- 1/4 tsp (1g) cracked black pepper
- 1 clove (5g) garlic, minced
- 2 large (10 oz / 280g each) flatbreads or Naan
- 2 tbsp (30ml) tomato paste or light pesto
- 6 oz (170g) fresh mozzarella, diced into small cubes
- 1/4 cup (10g) shaved Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup (15g) fresh basil leaves, torn
- 1 tbsp (15ml) balsamic glaze
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Toss the halved cherry tomatoes, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl until evenly coated.
- Spread the tomatoes cut-side up on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Roast for 10–12 minutes until the skins begin to shrivel and the edges look slightly charred.
- While tomatoes roast, place the flatbreads on a fresh piece of parchment paper.
- Using a pastry brush, apply a thin, even layer of tomato paste or pesto, leaving a 1/2 inch (1.2cm) border around the edges.
- Distribute the diced mozzarella evenly across the base.
- Carefully spoon the roasted cherry tomatoes and any flavorful oil from the pan over the cheese.
- Sprinkle the shaved Parmesan over the top and bake until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden and crisp.
- Finish with torn fresh basil leaves and a drizzle of balsamic glaze before serving.
