Ingredients

• 200 grams Manchego cheese
• 250 grams Cherry tomatoes
• 3 sprigs Fresh rosemary sprigs
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
• 6 pieces Crusty bread slices
• 1 clove Garlic clove

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2

Rinse the cherry tomatoes and pat them dry. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 3

Drizzle the cherry tomatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt, black pepper, and 2 of the rosemary sprigs, allowing the herb to infuse its flavor during roasting.

Step 4

Roast the tomatoes in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are soft, slightly blistered, and fragrant. Remove and let them cool slightly.

Step 5

While the tomatoes are roasting, cut the Manchego cheese into thin slices or small cubes, depending on your presentation preference.

Step 6

Toast the crusty bread slices until golden and crisp. Rub one side of each toast with the peeled garlic clove to impart a subtle garlic flavor.

Step 7

Arrange the cheese slices or cubes on a serving platter. Top each piece with a few roasted tomatoes, removing the rosemary sprigs if desired.

Step 8

Drizzle the entire platter with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and garnish with the last rosemary sprig for added aroma and presentation.

Step 9

Serve immediately with the toasted garlic bread alongside as a perfect pairing.
