Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French baguette or Italian bread
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 6 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the baguette or Italian bread diagonally into 1-inch thick slices. You should get about 8-10 slices. Place the slices on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil and minced garlic. Brush this mixture generously onto each slice of bread.
Slice the cherry tomatoes into halves or quarters, depending on their size, and set them aside.
Evenly sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over each bread slice. Make sure to cover the top surface well.
Top the cheese with the sliced cherry tomatoes. Arrange 3-4 pieces on each bread slice for even coverage.
Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top of the cherry tomatoes followed by a pinch of dried oregano, salt, and black pepper on each slice.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the bread are golden brown.
While the bread is baking, chop the fresh basil leaves into thin ribbons (chiffonade method) or tear them into small pieces.
Remove the bread from the oven and immediately sprinkle the chopped basil over the top of each slice for a fresh, aromatic finish.
Serve warm and enjoy your Cheese Tomato Bread as a snack, appetizer, or side dish!
