Ingredients

  • 2 cups of cherry tomatoes
  • 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 4-5 cloves of garlic cut in half.
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish
  • cup stracciatella cheese
  • Crusty bread for serving

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).
  • In a small oven-safe dish, combine the cherry tomatoes, garlic, rosemary and olive oil, make sure all ingredients are submerged in oil.
  • Roast the tomato mixture in the preheated oven for 2 until the tomatoes are soft and caramelized. Be patient; slow-roasting is the key to achieving that incredible sweetness.
  • Remove the roasted tomatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly.
  • To serve, spread the creamy stracciatella cheese on a plate, and top it with the warm tomato confit, using a fork to drain it from the oil.
  • Garnish your dish with fresh basil leaves for a burst of herbal freshness.
  • Serve with slices of crusty bread to scoop up the cheese and tomato goodness.
