Marinated Tomatoes is an adaptation of the Half Baked Harvest marinated cherry tomatoes with burrata recipe. The most significant difference is the measurements. Her recipe creates a much for herbacious forward flavor that I felt lacked balance. The thyme was so strong that it was distracting. My recipe halves the thyme and 3x the amount of honey. This creates a sweet and savory flavor that compliments the tomatoes perfectly. Pairing the tomatoes with buratta and crusty bread is the only way to do it. This is my absolute favorite spring and summertime appetizer.
