Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, add a handful of Kalamata olives to the baking dish.

You can use different types of cheese, such as halloumi or kefalotyri, but adjust the baking time accordingly.

A squeeze of fresh lemon juice after baking adds a bright, zesty flavor.

To avoid splattering, you can partially cover the dish with aluminum foil during baking, especially if the tomatoes are very juicy.
