We made this with the wonderful homegrown tomatoes from PawPaw’s garden. Be careful when serving. Once I lifted a slice from the dish and reached over the person sitting at the table, when it slid off the spatula and into their lap. What a hot surprise! They ate it anyway. It’s that good.

We made tomato tart inspired panini sandwiches with ciabatta, fresh mozzarella, sliced tomatoes, and basil. I mixed some mayo and parm to spread on the bread and sprinkled the tomatoes and cheese with a little salt and pepper. It was delicious! – Elizabeth
