  • Himilayan salt and ground pepper to taste

  • balsamic glaze

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Cut a little slice off the bottom of each Roma tomato so it sits flat on a dish.

  2. Next cut 5 slits in each tomato being careful not to cut all the way through the tomato and stuff each slit with a piece of mozzarella and basil.

  3. Season with salt, pepper and red chili flakes

  4. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic glaze

  5. Top with pesto and serve!
