Ingredients
For Tomatoes:
- 16 ounces (454 grams) cherry tomatoes
- 1 ½ tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh herbs (such as basil, parsley, rosemary, thyme, oregano, or chives)
- kosher salt and pepper
For Dressing:
- 1 large clove garlic
- 2 cups fresh basil leaves (lightly packed)
- ½ cup + 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- few grinds pepper
For Tartines:
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 4 ounces (113 grams) goat cheese
Equipment
- Food Processor (or Blender)
Instructions
Prepare Tomatoes:
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Place tomatoes on a large baking sheet, the drizzle with olive oil, and season generously with salt and pepper. Mix well.
- Bake for 10 minutes, then stir in garlic. Continue roasting until tomatoes are shriveled and some are popped (about 10 to 15 minutes more).
- Remove from oven, then stir in the fresh herbs and season to taste with additional salt and pepper (if needed). Set aside.
Prepare Dressing:
- Meanwhile, place garlic clove in food processor and mince.
- Add basil, olive oil, parmesan, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Process ingredients together until well blended and mostly smooth.
- Season generously with additional salt to taste. (I used about 1 teaspoon total.)
Prepare Tartines:
- When tomatoes are done roasting, switch oven to broil, and move rack to top shelf.
- Place bread slices on a baking sheet, then brush both side with olive oil.
- Broil toasts until golden (about 1 to 2 minutes), then flip and cook until golden on other side (about 1 to 2 minutes more). Remove from oven and sprinkle lightly with salt.
- Spread goat cheese over toasted bread, then top with tomatoes.
- Drizzle 2 teaspoons basil dressing over each tartine, then serve immediately. Enjoy!
Notes
Every broiler works a little differently! Watch your bread closely as it broils so it doesn't burn.
This recipe works great with other mini tomatoes, such as grape tomatoes.
You'll have leftover dressing. Toss it with mixed greens for a simple salad, mix it with pasta, use it for this Pesto Caprese Salad, or make another batch of tartines!
