Ingredients

2 large slices crusty bread
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil divided
1 cup cherry tomatoes
3 tablespoons mascarpone cheese
Flaky sea salt
Black sesame seeds optional
Red pepper flakes optional

Instructions

Toast the bread to your liking.
Meanwhile, heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a small cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until blistered. Turn off the heat source and use a pot holder to shake the pan and turn the tomatoes. Continue to cook with the heat off for another minute or two, until wrinkled and soft.
Smear a tablespoon and a half of mascarpone cheese onto each piece of toast. Top each piece of toast with half of the blistered tomatoes. Drizzle the top of the toast with olive oil and sprinkle with flaky sea salt, sesame seeds, and red pepper flakes, if using. Serve at once.

Notes

Mascarpone toast is best enjoyed fresh and doesn't store well when assembled. However, you can keep the ingredients separately. Store mascarpone in the refrigerator for up to a week.

You can store the cooked tomatoes in the fridge for 2-3 days in an airtight container. Keep bread at room temperature for 2-3 days or freeze it for a longer shelf life. To reheat, toast the bread again and then add mascarpone and tomatoes just before serving.
