Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French bread (baguette or similar)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 200 grams Cooked ham
- 2 medium Tomatoes
- 150 grams Mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the French bread loaf in half lengthwise, then cut each half into four equal pieces to create eight open-faced slices.
Place the bread slices on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each slice generously with olive oil.
Finely mince the garlic and sprinkle it evenly over the bread slices.
Thinly slice the cooked ham into bite-sized pieces. Distribute the ham evenly over the bread slices.
Chop the tomatoes into small cubes and place them on top of the ham. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper over the tomatoes.
Grate the mozzarella cheese and evenly sprinkle it over the tomato layer on each slice.
Add a dash of dried oregano to each slice for seasoning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the bread are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy!
