Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 4 oz Fresh mozzarella
- 1 loaf Baguette
- 6 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tbsp Balsamic glaze
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 clove Garlic
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into 8 even slices, about 1/2 inch thick each.
Place the baguette slices on a baking sheet and drizzle one side lightly with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Toast the baguette slices in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, until they are golden and crispy.
While the bread is toasting, cut the cherry tomatoes in half and place them in a bowl.
Chop or tear the fresh mozzarella into small bite-sized pieces and add them to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Finely mince the garlic and add it to the bowl along with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss gently to combine.
Once the baguette slices are toasted, rub the crispy side lightly with the cut surface of a garlic clove for added flavor (optional).
Arrange the tomato and mozzarella mixture evenly on top of the toast slices.
Drizzle a thin stream of balsamic glaze over each toast.
Finish by garnishing each piece with one fresh basil leaf or a small basil chiffonade.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
