ingredients
- 5 Roma tomatoes
- 25, 1/4 inch slices mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
- cracked black pepper, to taste
- pinch of red chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup homemade or store-bought pesto
- Pinch of salt
Method
Step 1
Cut a little slice off the bottom of each Roma Tomato so it sits flat.
Step 2
Then cut 5 slits in each tomato being careful not to cut all the way through the tomato.
Step 3
Stuff each slit with a piece of mozzarella and basil.
Step 4
Season with cracked pepper and red chili flakes.
Step 5
Don’t salt until you are ready to serve them as the salt will draw out extra moisture. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil with top pesto and serve!
