Margherita Pizza Beans

I love this recipe for Margherita Pizza Beans. If you have lots of tomatoes from your garden, this is a great way to use them. It's basically an Italian "beans on toast". Serve it with a fresh green salad and you have a meal your family will be asking you to make again.
- Prep: 15 mins
- Cook: 25 mins
- Yields: 4 Servings
Ingredients
2 - 15-ounce cans white beans (such as cannellini or butter), rinsed
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
2 pints cherry or Sun Gold tomatoes (about 1¼ pound)
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
¼ cup torn basil leaves, stems reserved, plus more for serving
6 ounces fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced
Directions
1Heat broiler. Halve large tomatoes crosswise (through the equator). Starting with cut sides, grate tomatoes on the large holes of a box grater into a medium bowl; discard or compost skins. Add beans and season generously with salt and pepper.
2Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high. Add cherry tomatoes; cook, shaking pan occasionally, until browned in spots, about 3 minutes. Add garlic; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
3Stir in grated tomato mixture and reserved basil stems. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture is thickened and flavorful, 10–15 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
4Remove basil stems from pan; stir in ¼ cup basil leaves. Shake skillet to evenly distribute beans. Top with mozzarella and 2 tablespoons Parmesan. Broil until cheese is melted and browned in spots, about 3 minutes.
5Spoon tomato beans over toast as desired. Top with more basil leaves and Parmesan and drizzle with oil. Season generously with more pepper.
