Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Sourdough bread
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Fresh tomato
- 0.5 cup Mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
- 4 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Brush both sides of the sourdough bread slices with olive oil and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Slice the tomato into thin, even rounds and pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Top each slice of bread with an even layer of mozzarella cheese, followed by the tomato slices.
Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese evenly over the tomatoes, then season with Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the melts from the oven and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your Italian Tomato and Cheese Melt!
