• For the herb drizzle: Meanwhile, add the basil, olive oil, oregano, capers, lemon juice and some salt and pepper to the bowl of a food processor and blend until smooth and pourable. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
• Arrange the roasted tomatoes on a platter and top with some of the herb drizzle. Garnish with fresh basil and oregano leaves.

ROASTED CAPRESE BITES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Using a small serrated knife, cut off the top eighth of each tomato and hollow out the insides, leaving the sides intact. (Discard the seeds and insides.) Slice a small sliver off each tomato bottom so it sits flat. Drain well on paper towel, taking care to dry the inside.
• Sprinkle the tomatoes with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stuff each tomato with a pinch of the chopped basil and a mozzarella ball and set on a small rimmed baking sheet.
• Combine the breadcrumbs with the olive oil, oregano and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Divide the mixture among the tops of the tomatoes.
• Bake until golden and the cheese is melted, about 10 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes, then serve warm.
