Comments
Just as good with halved cherry tomatoes, and everything tossed together instead of laid out flat. Tomatoes require salt, even in the presence of Gorgonzola, and I’m not sure why it isn’t included in the ingredient list. Maybe an oversight?
Delicious. Easy. Can’t imagine why no one else has reviewed it. Excellent use of tomatoes at their peak.
