Halloumi bruschetta with cherry tomatoes
This recipe is perfect for breakfast, lunch, dinner or anytime you are craving the combination of salty cheese, tomatoes and bread. The shopping list is short on this one, but the flavor is big with Mutti cherry tomatoes creating a perfect sauce for the beans.
Made with Mutti Cherry tomatoes
Renowned for being extremely sweet with an intense fragrant flavour, Mutti Cherry Tomatoes are ripened under the warm sun of southern Italy and carefully selected to offer the freshness of just-harvested fruit all year round. They are soft and succulent yet maintain their form well. As the skin of Mutti Cherry Tomatoes has a thin texture, they are ideal to make quick, delicious sauces or even to use straight out of the tin in place of fresh tomatoes.
