Preheat your oven to 400°F. In a 9-inch baking dish, combine the 2 cups cherry tomatoes, 8 ounces mozzarella balls, and 1/2 cup black olives.
Step 2
Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon dried oregano. Toss gently to coat everything evenly.
Step 3
Bake for 15-18 minutes, until the tomatoes are bursting and the cheese is melted and golden on top.
