Made half a recipe with fresh cherry tomatoes from the garden. Think I added too much feta so will measure next time. Served with Recipe #219304. Yummy.

Love these tomatoes. We've been going easy on the bread since Christmas, so served them over an undressed green salad instead. Cut back on the oil (used 1/2 cup) and added a slosh of balsamic vinegar. I will make these often. Thanks so much for posting such a useful recipe.

ZWT6: Delicious and simple with everyday ingredients (in my house). Served alongside of Recipe#113404

Yummm! I used the 2 T. of garlic in the oil and let the tomatoes set in them for about 15 minutes before baking. Served with an extra crusty sour dough bread and we all loved it! Thanks for posting. Made for ZWT 6.

FABULOUS!!!!!!! I placed the tomatoes, oil and lots of garlic with a good sprinkle of pepper in a cast iron pan. Let marinade for 1 hour. Baked for 15 minutes, tossed with cheese and basil. Served with toasred pita. So SO SOOOOO good. A must make. Made for the whine and cheese. ZWT6
