Ingredients

1 Serving

cup (4 ounces) small heirloom cherry tomatoes (such as Sun Gold or Sweet 100), halved

teaspoon kosher salt

tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon high-quality extra-virgin olive oil

2-ounce ball buffalo mozzarella

Maldon sea salt or fleur de sel

4–5

Preparation

Step 1

Mix tomatoes, salt, and oil in a small bowl. Let stand, tossing occasionally, until juices release from tomatoes and oil and juices have become saucelike, about 15 minutes.

Step 2

Place mozzarella off-center on a large plate. Spoon tomatoes and juices from bowl around one side of the cheese. Sprinkle tomatoes with sea salt; scatter basil all over. Place Crostoni Bagnati next to the cheese.
