Time for something a little savory! I wanted to make a small appetizer that was quick and used a few fresh, summery ingredients. I read online that tomato and peach flavors go really well together so I decided to give it a go!

With ingredients as beautiful as these, how can this recipe not be delicious?
I work with an amazing group of people, and I really enjoy baking things for particular coworkers as a token of my appreciation when they go above and beyond.
