I saw this recipe on TikTok and decided to put my own spin on it using provolone cheese. They remind me of fancier pizza bagel bites, like the ones you get in the frozen section. I took some home to my partner and we gobbled them all up cold. They taste great both ways. I can see making these in the winter time with a warm dipping sauce to amp up the comfort level even more.

One thing you definitely need in your kitchen to make these successfully is a silicone baking mat. The cheese melts around the tomato into this golden crust that makes the edges so crunchy and salty, you don’t want to lose that if the cheese sticks to your tray. You can find silicone mats on Amazon nowadays and they make excellent additions to your baking collection. You’ll never need parchment paper again.

I hope these tomato tartlets inspire you to cook more with seasonal fresh produce. Highlight the beauty of Summer with recipes that make you feel all warm and cozy inside.
