Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Baguette or crusty bread
- 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 5 Fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 teaspoons Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the baguette or crusty bread diagonally into 1-inch thick slices. Arrange the slices on a baking sheet.
Brush each slice of bread with olive oil on one side and place them in the oven for 5 minutes to lightly toast.
While the bread is toasting, finely chop the garlic cloves and cherry tomatoes. Place the chopped tomatoes in a bowl and toss them with the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Remove the bread slices from the oven and evenly spread the tomato mixture on the toasted side of each slice.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the tomato topping, followed by a light sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
Place the bread back in the oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh basil leaves for a burst of freshness.
Serve the Cheesy Tomato Bread warm and enjoy!
