Summer cooking should be easy and delicious. Not to mention, it's always nice to eat light on hot days. These bite-sized cheesy pesto tomatoes are the perfect solution to summer cooking!
We love cheesy pesto tomatoes in the summer because you can eat them alone, serve them atop a slice of ciabatta bread, or even add them to a sandwich. Plus, tomatoes go with summer like bread goes with butter! Make extra and store in the fridge for grab-and-go YUM!
