Love love love this recipe. Quick and easy and oh sooo yummy.
I serve it on grilled baguqette.
This appetizer not only tastes extra yummy but also looks great and is fun too eat. Very easy to make and my dear in laws loved it.
Delicious! Thought I had capers and I didn’t! Ack! Substituted kalamata olives and it was great. Will pick up capers and make this again. I needed a new “go-to” app recipe and this will be it. I’ll toast up the rest of the baguette with olive oil and garlic and put it in the freezer for next time.
I made this tonight and it was excellent! I added a a couple of shallots and olives to the tomatoes and garlic, which suited our taste. But it’s so quick and amazing!
Delicious
My plan was to make caprice salad for an appetizer for our guests, I came across this recipe and changed my mind about the salad and decided to go with it, it looked different and I love sautéed tomatoes ( actually, I am Palestinian and sautéed tomato with onion is a very popular dish in Palestine) so, I used regular tomatoes that I cut to quarters, used mozzarella cheese instead and this dish was a hit, tasty, different, easy to make. Thank you
This is a hit! Great way to use up abundant cherry tomatoes, even the ones that are starting to get a bit soft and wrinkly. I would add more tomatoes next time. Great served with toasted garlic naan bread cut in triangles or a baguette sliced thin.
Amazingly easy and delicious! Served with sourdough bread and it was a real hit! I doubled the tomatoes and split the feta in half and made two, separate casserole dishes.
I had leftover crumbled feta cheese and capers from another recipe and so I found this recipe when I Googled those two ingredients. I only had a Roma tomato but no cherry tomatoes. I decided to go ahead and try it because I actually preferred the idea of using crumbled instead of block feta. OMG! I just did a small sample to test it out and it was so scrumptious that I made a second one to finish off my tomato. Because I’m single, I do most of my baking in the toaster oven. It works better in my opinion because I can use the “toast” function to roast my veggies which really speeds up the cooking process. I used it on this to ensure feta cooked on the bottom. I’m definitely adding cherry tomatoes and crumbled feta cheese to next week’s grocery list!! I took a picture and would love to share it with you because it looks so delicious even without cherry tomatoes!!!
So glad you found this and enjoyed it so much! Unfortunately, the blog isn’t set up to receive pictures but if you’re on Instagram, you can share it there; be sure to tag me @onceuponachef! 🙂
This is delicious! I have several “foodie” friends who ask for this when they come over. The feta melts beautifully and almost passes for mozzarella in the dish. I have people in my life who dislike feta (strongly) and love this dish. Great with summer ripened tomatoes!!
Super good! I picked my garden golden and sweet 100 tomatoes, and had some feta cheese and capers in the refrigerator. Simple, but delicious recipe! I will definitely make it again and again! Thanks so much!
