01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven’s broiler and move the rack so it’s about 6 inches from the heat. Put the muffin halves under the broiler and toast them until they’re golden brown, which should take around 2 to 3 minutes. While that’s happening, mix the garlic, butter, and basil in a small bowl, then spread this flavorful butter onto each toasted muffin half.

Step 2
In a larger bowl, combine the tomatoes, olives, and tomato paste, and set this mixture aside for a moment. Next, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, and honey until it’s smooth. Spoon some of the tomato mixture over each muffin, then drizzle the olive oil dressing on top. Add a slice of mozzarella, and finish with a sprinkle of salt and pepper.

Step 3
Pop the muffins back under the broiler just long enough for the cheese to melt—about 1 to 2 minutes. Serve them up right away and enjoy!

How to serve
Serve this with a drizzle of good quality olive oil and a sprinkle of sea salt. It pairs well with a crisp white wine or a light salad. Great for summer parties or casual get-togethers.

Prepare the tomato topping in advance and keep it refrigerated in an airtight container. Toast the bread just before serving to keep it crunchy. Avoid assembling too early to prevent sogginess.
