On the way home while browsing recipes on my phone (I wasn’t driving, of course!) I stumbled across a recipe similar to this and it looked so good I knew I had to try it (recipe credit on recipe card below). I put my own little spin on the recipe and it was amazing to say the least!
If you’re a tomato and cheese lover like me, these are a MUST MAKE! Enjoy!
