I’ve had it the first time at a restaurant in Hamra-Beirut a year ago and tried to replicate it with a great success.

It is one of those recipes you put together in no time, especially when you have friends over for brunch or dinner and you don’t have the luxury of TIME to prepare ahead. All you have to do is pour and mix, and let the oven do the magic!

The result is a warm delicious cup of silky tomato puree that is flavored with salt and pepper, garlic and onion (I used powdered ones for convenience) and oregano and basil and there’s no better thing to do than to dip toasted bread into the warm soft cheese in the center to scoop a heartwarming bite.
