Baked Tomatoes And Mozzarella - cooking recipe

Ingredients

6 roma (plum) tomatoes, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 (8 ounce) ball of fresh mozzarella cheese, cubed
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 clove roasted garlic, mashed into a paste
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil

Preparation

Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
Arrange tomato slices on prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle tomatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil; sprinkle lightly with sea salt and freshly ground pepper.
Bake the tomatoes in the preheated oven until they become leathery, a bit brown, and crunchy around the edges, approximately 2 hours. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
Combine the cooled roasted tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, basil, and roasted garlic in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the vinegar and the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil; mix well.
