Ingredients

  • 2 large red bell peppers halved through the stem and seeded

  • Divide your tomato mixture among the roasted pepper halves as shown.
  • Next, add the burrata or mozzarella cheese, a few slices of red onion, and olives if desired, then drizzle with more pesto sauce, sprinkle with freshly chopped basil leaves, a tiny pinch of flaky salt & freshly ground pepper if desired, and enjoy!
