Prep Time

Cook Time
10 minutes
Ingredients
- 12 Campari tomatoes
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 12 small fresh basil leaves (chopped)
- 12 mozzarella ciliegine (dried well)
- 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
- This recipe originally appeared on Giada Entertains: Jade's Chocolate Factory.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Using a small serrated knife, cut off the top eighth of each tomato and hollow out the insides, leaving the sides intact. (Discard the seeds and insides.) Slice a small sliver off each tomato bottom so it sits flat. Drain well on paper towel, taking care to dry the inside.
- Sprinkle the tomatoes with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stuff each tomato with a pinch of the chopped basil and a mozzarella ball and set on a small rimmed baking sheet.
- Combine the breadcrumbs with the olive oil, oregano and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Divide the mixture among the tops of the tomatoes.
- Bake until golden and the cheese is melted, about 10 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes, then serve warm.

I made the Roasted Caprese Bites for, believe it or not Super Bowl. We wanted a lite bite to go with my other options. These were perfect. Easy, few ingredients and very easy. I prepared them ahead of time and popped them in the oven when I needed them. The Flavor was amazing. The most delicious bite. I was excited to share this recipe with all my friends at work. I will make them again and again.
