Ingredients
  

4 large flatbreads or naan

2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved

3 tablespoons olive oil, divided

1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

Salt and black pepper, to taste

2 teaspoons dried oregano

8 oz fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced

1 cup fresh basil leaves, roughly torn

1 tablespoon honey (optional, for a sweet touch)

Red pepper flakes (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to preheat at 400°F (200°C).

    Roast the Tomatoes: In a mixing bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, a generous pinch of salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Toss the mixture gently until the tomatoes are well-coated. Arrange the coated tomatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the tomatoes are blistered and soft, releasing their juices.

      Prepare the Flatbreads: While the tomatoes are roasting, take another baking sheet and lay the flatbreads or naan on it. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the flatbreads, using a brush or the back of a spoon to spread it evenly. For an optional sweet touch, drizzle a thin line of honey on each flatbread.

        Add Mozzarella: Once the roasted tomatoes are out of the oven, layer the slices of fresh mozzarella evenly on top of each flatbread. Allow the warm tomatoes to lightly melt the cheese.

          Combine Ingredients: Spoon the roasted tomatoes along with their juices generously over the mozzarella. Ensure an even distribution of tomatoes to balance the flavors across each flatbread.

            Bake the Flatbreads: Place the baking sheet with the flatbreads in the oven (you can roast the tomatoes and bake the flatbreads simultaneously if there’s enough space). Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the mozzarella is fully melted and bubbly, and the edges of the flatbreads turn a golden brown.

              Garnish: After removing the flatbreads from the oven, let them cool slightly. Sprinkle the roughly torn fresh basil leaves over the top. If you like a kick, add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for some heat.

                Serve: Slice the flatbreads into portions with a sharp knife or pizza cutter and serve warm. Enjoy your delightful Roasted Tomato & Mozzarella Flatbreads!
