Very tasty! I used some fresh cherry tomatoes from the landlord's garden, and I used fresh basil in place of the dried. You definitely do need to keep this as warm as possible, because smoked mozzarella tends to be a tad more rubbery that regular mozzarella when it cools down. We enjoyed this with some crunchy focaccia breadstick-type crackers. Thanks for posting! Made for Culinary Quest I
