Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 6 Campari tomatoes halved
  • 2 garlic cloves thinly sliced
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes optional, but recommended!
  • 1/4 cup fresh oregano leaves
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt to taste
  • 4 slices of your favorite bread sourdough works great
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese or ricotta, cream cheese, or burrata
  • 1/4 cup pesto homemade or store-bought
  • Fresh basil leaves for topping (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small baking dish, arrange the halved tomatoes cut side up. Scatter the sliced garlic, oregano leaves, and red pepper flakes over the top.
  3. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt, and roast for 25 minutes, or until the tomatoes are soft, juicy, and slightly caramelized.
  4. Meanwhile, toast your bread until golden and crisp.
  5. Spread each slice with a generous layer of pesto, followed by cottage cheese.
  6. Spoon the roasted tomatoes on top, making sure to drizzle over some of those incredible pan juices.
  7. Finish with a few fresh basil leaves, more oregano if you like, and maybe a crack of black pepper.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy every bite.
