Ingredients
- 1 loaf Whole grain baguette

- 2 medium-sized Fresh tomatoes
- 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Slice the whole grain baguette into 16 pieces, about 1/2 inch thick each.
Place the baguette slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of olive oil with 0.5 teaspoons of garlic powder, then lightly brush each baguette slice with the mixture.
Place in the oven and bake for 5 minutes until the edges become lightly golden.
While the bread is toasting, slice the fresh tomatoes into thin rounds.
Grate 150 grams of low-fat mozzarella cheese if not pre-shredded.
After removing the baguette slices from the oven, top each slice with a layer of tomato, followed by a sprinkle of cheese.
Season the slices with 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper.
Return the topped baguette slices to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and is bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
Serve warm as a delightful appetizer or a light lunch.
