Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium ripe tomatoes
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons dried oregano
- 4 pieces slices of bread
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 leaves fresh basil leaves (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven’s broiler to high and position a rack about 6 inches from the heating element.
Slice the tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds and place them on a plate.
Drizzle the sliced tomatoes with olive oil and sprinkle them with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano. Set aside.
Lay the slices of bread on a baking sheet and place them under the broiler for about 1-2 minutes, or until lightly toasted on one side. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
Remove the toasted bread from the oven and flip the slices over so the untoasted side is facing up.
Place the seasoned tomato slices evenly on the bread slices, then sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the top of the tomatoes.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly with golden-brown spots.
Carefully remove the sandwiches from the oven and transfer them to serving plates.
Garnish each sandwich with a fresh basil leaf, if desired, and serve warm.
