Ingredients
- 300 grams Cherry tomatoes

- 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze
- 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Step 2
Wash the cherry tomatoes and place them in a medium-sized oven-safe dish.
Step 3
Peel and mince the garlic cloves, then sprinkle them over the cherry tomatoes.
Step 4
Drizzle the olive oil over the tomatoes and garlic. Add the salt and black pepper, then toss everything to coat evenly.
Step 5
Roast the cherry tomatoes in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until they start to blister and soften.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Remove the roasted tomatoes from the oven and immediately toss with the mozzarella pieces, allowing the residual heat to melt the cheese slightly.
