INGREDIENTS
-
2 pints cherry tomatoes
-
4 sprigs thyme
-
4 garlic cloves, smashed
-
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
-
Kosher salt
-
8 ounces fresh buffalo or cow mozzarella (about 1 ball), room temperature, torn into large pieces
-
Flaky sea salt
-
Country-style bread, brushed with oil, toasted in oven (for serving)
RECIPE PREPARATION
-
Preheat oven to 350°. Toss tomatoes, thyme, garlic, and oil on a rimmed baking sheet to coat and season lightly with kosher salt. Spread out in a single layer and roast until tomatoes are bursting and lightly browned, 40–45 minutes; let cool.
-
Arrange mozzarella on a platter and spoon warm tomato mixture with juices over; sprinkle with sea salt. Serve with olive-oil-toasted bread for soaking up all those extra juices.
-
Do Ahead: Tomatoes can be roasted 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Gently reheat before using.
