Skillet-Charred Cherry Tomatoes with Basil

Heat a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over high heat until smoking, 5 minutes. Add the olive oil, tomatoes and squash blossoms and cook until the tomatoes are lightly charred and about to burst, 3 minutes.

Off the heat, stir in the basil. Season with salt and pepper and serve right away.
