Notes
You will get a very colorful dish by using multi-colored cherry tomatoes and adding some fresh herbs on top. (Use tomatoes sparingly as they aren’t really keto-friendly, but they add lots of color and interest to the dish.)The red pepper flakes give it a little kick while the melted mozzarella cheese adds a smooth taste. This recipe is big on flavor and so easy to make.
