Can you prepare this Keto Thanksgiving appetizer ahead of time?

If you're preparing this appetizer as part of a Keto Thanksgiving menu, you could prepare it in advance to save time. Slice the tomatoes and place them on a lined baking sheet. Top with the shredded mozzarella and grated parmesan, and put the sheet in the fridge. When it's dinner time, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with some basil, then bake until the tomatoes are roasted, and the cheese is golden.

What cheese can you use for this recipe?

You can never go wrong with tomatoes and mozzarella; it's a classic combination. Adding parmesan and basil elevates these appetizer bites and will leave you wanting more.

We recommend a mixture of mild and strong cheeses for a balanced flavor.
