Cast Iron Goodness!

My good friend and fellow chef Nick Haddow gave me this recipie for a good starter appetizer.

Ingredients

2 pints of cherry tomatoes – a mixed variety will be more colorful

3 – 4 balls of buffalo mozzarella – you could also use burrata

1 – 2 cups of extra virgin olive oil

1 cup balsamic vinegar

1 dozen basil leaves, chiffonaded

1 baguette sliced

Preparation

Add cherry tomatoes to a cast-iron pan

Pour in olive oil and balsamic vinegar

Add in the cheese, pulling the balls into halves or quarters

Cover with basil

Salt and pepper

Cook at 350°F for 30 minutes until the tomatoes break down and the cheese is gooey.

Serve with sliced baguette or bread of your choice, baste the bread with olive oil and toast for about 15 minutes in the over at 250.

This is what you are looking for in the tomatos for doneness
