Delish!
This was easy and delicious! We prefer smaller bits of basil on top. Can’t wait to make this for the next dinner party.
These are SO GOOD. I made some with campari tomatoes and some with the roma the recipe recommends and they were both delicious but the campari flavor really shines. Next time I’ll gave to try try some garlic like reviews have mentioned.
Such a simple but delicious recipe! A huge crowd pleaser! Absolutely no leftovers!
Quick and easy crowd pleaser. Every time I make this, I’m asked for the recipe.
Phenomenal with loads of flavor! Use a Robust EVOO as it intensifies the overall flavor profile. It is a family staple now!
Oh my, such easy prep, and wonderful “side” for our king salmon dinner this evening! Will make it again very soon!
So simple that a 46 yr old man can make it. I told my wife to put on socks just so when she tasted this it could knock them off ! . I followed exactly your recipe but added a splash of balsamic vinegar and WOW! Instantly I was without socks , thanks G
I made it for the first time for my family and everyone ate it ALL up. I will absolutely make it again. Very easy to make but I made a few changes: I left off the basil. So, when it came out of the oven. I squeezed on some balsamic vinegar glaze, then topped it off with a piece of prosciutto. How could you go wrong with that?
Absolutely delicious and so simple to follow! I have a toddler who is a picky eater and he loves it! This is my second time making them and I can’t wait to make them as appetizers for any holiday get together!
