Ingredients

  • 4 English muffins, split

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil

  • 4 large fresh tomatoes, peeled and chopped

  • 8 black olives, pitted and halved

  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice

  • 1 teaspoon honey

  • 4 slices mozzarella cheese, halved

  • salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Toast muffin halves under broiler until golden, about 2 to 3 minutes. Mix garlic, butter, and basil together in a small bowl; spread butter mixture evenly onto each toasted muffin half.

  2. Combine tomatoes, olives, and tomato paste in a large bowl; set aside. Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, and honey in a small bowl. Spoon some of the tomato mixture onto each muffin, then drizzle the olive oil mixture over the top, place a piece of mozzarella on top, and season with salt and pepper.

  3. Return muffins to broiler; cook until the cheese has melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
