Baked Broccoli with Mozzarella and Cherry Tomatoes

Now, sprinkle the grated mozzarella cheese generously over the broccoli and tomatoes. The grated cheese will melt into every nook and cranny of the dish, adding a creamy layer of flavor. For extra indulgence, lay the large slices of mozzarella cheese on top of the grated cheese, ensuring a gooey, golden finish once baked.

Baking the Delight:

Place the baking mold in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes. Keep an eye on the dish, as you want the cheese to melt completely and turn golden brown. The edges should be slightly crispy, and the aroma of baked cheese and garlic should fill the kitchen.

Once the cheese is golden and bubbly, remove the dish from the oven. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving to let the flavors settle and the cheese firm up slightly.

Serving Suggestions:

This baked broccoli dish can be served as a hearty side or as a light main course. Pair it with crusty  bread or a simple green salad for a complete meal. The combination of rich mozzarella, sweet tomatoes, and tender broccoli will satisfy both vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike.
