Cherry Tomatoes On Provolone Garlic Bread Recipes

PROVOLONE GARLIC BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Mix butter with garlic and Worcestershire sauce, set aside.
• Halve bread horizontally. Slice each half piece of bread crosswise into serving size pieces, cutting only three-fourths of the way to the bottom (do not cut bread into individual pieces).
• Place each half piece of bread on a baking sheet, crust side down.
• Spread all cut surfaces (including between the crosswise cuts you made) with the garlic-butter mixture.
• Cut or tear the cheese into pieces that will fit to cover the entire surface of both halves of bread.
• Bake until cheese melts and lightly browns, about 20 minutes.

• Return to broiler; broil 1 minute or just until cheese is melted. Cut bread crosswise into 8 pieces.

CHERRY TOMATOES ON PROVOLONE GARLIC BREAD

Steps:

• For the tomatoes, mix tomatoes, scallions, parsley, rosemary, garlic, olive oil and vinegar in a shallow bowl.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Cover bowl and let tomatoes marinate at room temperature for at least 1 hour, but preferably 3-4 hours.
• Stir occasionally to distribute seasonings.
• For the bread, combine olive oil and garlic and let mixture stand for about 10 minutes so flavors can mingle. Meanwhile, heat the broiler.
• Brush one side of each bread slice with garlic and olive oil mixture and broil them oiled-side up until lightly browned.
• Put a slice of provolone and a generous sprinkling of Parmesan on each slice, reserving a little of the parmesan for garnish.
• Set aside. Just before serving, heat up broiler again and toast cheese until bubbly.
• Serve bread in shallow bowls, spooning about 3/4 cup of tomatoes and marinade over each slice, garnishing with remaining parmesan.

SAUTEED CHERRY TOMATOES WITH GARLIC AND BASIL

Steps:

• Heat 1 Tb. olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high flame until it just starts to smoke. Add tomatoes, and season with salt and pepper.

Off heat, stir in the basil and remaining 1 Tb. olive oil, then serve.
