Alkapal's Easy Microwave Garlicky Roasted Cherry Tomatoes Recipe alkapal

• good dipping quality extra virgin olive oil
• pecorino romano cheese, finely grated
• panko bread crumbs; balsamic vinegar; cherry tomatoes
• lots of fresh garlic, put through a press, or finely minced. like 1 clove per generous tablespoon... (su-per garlicky!) mash it in the dish so it is revved up!
• kosher salt
• balsamic vinegar

1. infuse olive oil with minced garlic (i love my zyliss press); set aside 5-10 minutes.
2. while it is infusing, i like to smash the garlic with the back of a spoon in the oil to really get smooth garlic and max flavor.
3. halve cherry tomatoes and arrange cut side up on micro-safe plate.
4. sprinkle with grated pecorino romano, and maybe a little kosher salt depending on your cheeses saltiness.
5. then, sprinkle with panko bread crumbs.
6. drizzle with the garlic/olive oil.
7. repeat the three-step sprinkle: cheese, panko, garlic oil.
8. then, add a decent-size drop of balsamic vinegar onto each tomato.
9. how much depends really on the size of the tomato.
10. nuke at 50% power in three one-minute increments (to check on progress).
