Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 F. Cut four pieces of aluminum foil large enough to fold. Toss tomatoes, garlic, oil, and vinegar in a large mixing bowl and season with salt and pepper. Divide tomato mixture evenly among cut foil and fold to make a pouch. Using a fork, carefully puncture each foil pouch a few times and place on baking tray. Place in oven and roast for 20 minutes, until tomatoes are soft and fragrant. Slightly open each pouch and drain excess liquid. Evenly distribute cheese among each pouch and place back ion oven for five minutes more. Allow to cool for a 3-4 minutes before serving.
Chic Tip: For a chicer presentation when serving, divide among four salad plates and top each with basil leaves.
