Tomato And Mozzarella Burger

1. 1

   Heat oven to 450 degrees.

2. 2

   Slice a thin piece from the rounded bottom of each tomato, so they sit upright.

4. 4

   Drizzle with the oil, then sprinkle on the salt and pepper.

   Scatter the garlic over the tomatoes.

6. 6

   Roast until they're softened and warmed through, approx 15 minutes.

   Mine took longer -- approx 25 minutes. Mean while, cut the mozzarella into 6- 1/2 inch rounds.

8. 8

   Using a spatula, sandwich each cheese slice between 2 hot tomato halves.

9. 9

   The heat of tomatoes will melt the cheese slightly.

10. 10

    Drizzle with the juices collected in the roasting pan and garnish with basil.
