Ingredients

Ingredients:

8 ounce package of fresh mozzarella or smoked mozzarella sliced
8-10 cherry tomatoes cut in half
1 clove garlic minced
extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

Preheat your oven broiler.
Grease a small ovenproof dish with a little extra virgin olive oil. Layer half of the mozzarella, then tomatoes, then garlic, then the rest of the mozzarella. Drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil.
Place on the middle rack under your broiler for 5-7 minutes or until the mozzarella is melted and bubbly around the edges. Serve hot.

Notes

Use fresh mozzarella that is vacuum packed not water packed. If it is packed in water the final dish will be more watery.

As the mozzarella cools, it will start to harden so try to use a dish that will keep the heat. Or simply pop back in the oven for a few minutes so that the cheese can melt again.
