Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 4 English muffins, split

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine tomatoes, olives, and tomato paste in a large bowl; set aside. Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, and honey in a small bowl. Spoon some of the tomato mixture onto each muffin, then drizzle the olive oil mixture over the top, place a piece of mozzarella on top, and season with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Return muffins to broiler; cook until the cheese has melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve immediately.

Step 3

Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Toast muffin halves under broiler until golden, about 2 to 3 minutes. Mix garlic, butter, and basil together in a small bowl; spread butter mixture evenly onto each toasted muffin half.
