Recipe information
Yield
4 servings
Ingredients
2 pints cherry tomatoes
4 sprigs thyme
4 garlic cloves, smashed
1/4 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)
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. 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.
Step 2
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
Step 3
Tomatoes can be roasted 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Gently reheat before using.
