So easy and 100% delicious! Thanks for a great recipe!
This is one of the best appetizers I’ve ever had. It’s been my go to app for the summer. Everyone loves and devours it! Thanks Jen for another keeper!
I made this tonight to take to a friend’s house. It was so delicious and easy to make. My friends loved it and commented how they were getting addicted to it. I will be making this again soon. Thanks again, Jenn, for another fabulous recipe!
This was so good and very easy. A go to appetizer from now on!
I made this appetizer a few nights ago for a friend’s birthday dinner, it was truly “restaurant quality!” Made it exactly per recipe using a colorful medley of tomatoes, served with chewy, fresh sourdough bread. We were all soaking the bread in the delicious juices before topping with the cheese and tomatoes, mmm, SO delicious! Also SO easy peasy! Thanks for another winner Jenn!!! Your website and cookbooks are my #1 “go-to” source for inspiration!
Made this for a get together last night and it was so good!
Love the tomato/caper sauce but would prefer a cheese that melts a bit more than Feta. What would you suggest?
I LOVE this recipe and have made it at least a dozen times since finding it maybe about 6 months ago. It’s so much flavor bang for the effort buck! Now that travel restrictions are easing up a bit here (we live in Brussels), visitors are starting to come back. For a weekend of food with family and friends, this usually makes an appearance. I usually make the tomato part shared. Also the bulgar salad from this site, which tastes better the next day, the plum cake, and the apple baked oatmeal. We’re a vegetarian family and Jen doesn’t have a million vegetarian recipes, but there are some gems in here. Thank you Jen!! I’d love some more ideas for make ahead stuff for a weekend of vegetarian guests, so basically two brunches and two dinner parties, if you have time. Does your new cookbook have a decent share of vegetarian recipes ?
So glad you like this! For some vegetarian options for brunch, I’d recommend one of my quiches or frittatas. Pancakes, waffles or muffins would also work well. You could pair any of these with a fruit salad or smoothie.
For dinners, many of my soups are vegetarian so you may want to peruse those. I have a number of pastas you could consider as well.
And, my cookbook does have some vegetarian recipes, but if you’re vegetarians, I’m not confident that you would find the book worth your money.
