Gratinated Cherry Tomatoes with Hot and Herby Mozzarella Filling

 

Cherry tomatoes or other small tomatoes

Mozzarella, as fresh as possible

Rosemary, chopped

Thyme, chopped

Chili pepper flakes

Capers in salt

Salt

Extra-virgin olive oil

 

Cut the mozzarella in small pieces and put in a small bowl. Add herbs, chili pepper, salt and olive oil and stir really well. Leave to marinate for 20-30 minutes. Cut the tomatoes in two, scoop out the seeds and use them for something else. Put the mozzarella into the tomatoes and then put these in an oven-proof form. Bake in a pre-heated oven (175°C/350°F) until golden, it takes between 10-15 minutes. Top with an unwashed salted caper and serve hot or tepid.
