Tomato or Tomotto? haha

For those tomato lovers out there, you can impress yourself and your guests with either of these very easy and super yummy Caprice Salads

Winter Caprese Salad: (above)

1 bunch of baby Roma tomatoes still on the vine
Pesto (homemade or store bought)
8 ou. Burrato cheese ( I found a great one from Bristol Farms)
1 tbsp olive oil
Kosher salt
Preheat the oven to 225 degrees. (may skip cooking and serve cold)
Place the tomatoes in a baking dish. Sprinkle with the olive oil and kosher salt. Bake for 2 hours. The cheese came in a plastic tub. I took it out and cut it in half, saving half for later. Placing the cheese on a dish I spread a layer of pesto on it. I gently reheated the tomatoes and placed them on top of the pesto. I spread a few toasted pine nuts on the plate along with a few baby tomatoes and a sprig of basil.
