Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large gluten-free baguette
- 250 grams cherry tomatoes
- 200 grams mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 10 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the gluten-free baguette into 12 slices, approximately 1/2 inch thick each.
Arrange the slices on a baking sheet and brush each side lightly with olive oil, using a total of 1 tablespoon for the entire batch.
Place the slices in the preheated oven and lightly toast for about 5 minutes, or until they are slightly crispy.
While the baguette slices are toasting, cut the cherry tomatoes in half and place them in a mixing bowl.
Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano to the tomatoes. Mix well to combine.
Slice the mozzarella cheese into thin pieces that are roughly the size of the baguette slices. Aim for 12 slices to match each bread piece.
Once the baguette slices are toasted, remove them from the oven.
Top each baguette slice with a piece of mozzarella cheese and a generous spoonful of the tomato mixture.
Return the topped baguette slices to the oven and bake for an additional 5-6 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted.
Once baked, remove from the oven and top each slice with a fresh basil leaf.
Serve immediately while warm as an appetizer or snack.
