Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole baguette
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 8 slices provolone cheese
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 leaves fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette in half lengthwise, then cut each half into four equal pieces to create eight slices.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the melted butter. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
Place the cherry tomatoes on a baking sheet. Drizzle them with olive oil, sprinkle with dried oregano, salt, and pepper, and toss to coat evenly. Roast the tomatoes in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until they are soft and slightly blistered.
While the tomatoes are roasting, brush the garlic butter evenly over the cut side of each baguette slice.
Place the baguette slices on a separate baking sheet. Place a slice of provolone cheese on top of each slice of garlic buttered bread.
Once the tomatoes are done roasting, remove them from the oven and set them aside. Place the baking sheet with the baguette slices into the oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the baguette slices from the oven and top each slice with a spoonful of the roasted cherry tomatoes.
Garnish each piece with a fresh basil leaf and serve immediately.
